Answer: D
The power to prescribe modes or methods of encryption under section 84A belongs to the Central Government.
Section 84A, inserted in the Information Technology Act by the 2008 amendment, provides that the Central Government may, for the secure use of the electronic medium and for the promotion of e-governance and e-commerce, prescribe the modes or methods for encryption.
The Controller of Certifying Authorities licenses and regulates certifying authorities, and the adjudicating officer decides compensation claims under section 46; neither prescribes encryption methods, nor does any ministry other than through the Central Government's rule-making power.
