Discussion
As of September 2021, the Centre told the Supreme Court that it was ready to constitute a committee of experts to look into charges of unauthorised use of Pegasus. This is a reference to a ________.
Answer: C
Pegasus is a mobile spyware, made by the Israeli firm NSO Group, that can be installed on a phone to take its messages, calls and camera. In 2021 reports of its use to snoop on journalists, activists and politicians led to petitions in the Supreme Court, and the Centre said it was ready to set up a committee of experts, though the Court formed its own panel.
It is not an oral drug or a vaccine for the coronavirus, nor a search engine on the internet. The word is in the question in the sense of the software, so mobile spyware is the answer.
