Answer: C
The NHRC can inquire into complaints of both (A) and (B).
Section 12(a) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 empowers the Commission to inquire, on its own motion or on a petition by a victim or any person on his behalf, into complaints of violation of human rights or abetment thereof, or of negligence in the prevention of such violation by a public servant.
