  • A.26th January, 2001
  • B.23rd January, 2003
  • C.23rd December, 2005
  • D.23rd December, 2007

Answer: C

The key's answer is 23rd December, 2005.

The Disaster Management Act, 2005 received the President's assent on 23 December 2005. It created the National Disaster Management Authority, chaired by the Prime Minister, as the apex body for disaster management, with State and District authorities below it.

The other dates are not those of the Act; 26 January 2001 is the date of the Gujarat earthquake, one of the disasters that led to the new law.
