Auto termination of a law after a specific date mentioned in its parent statute is called :
Answer: C
The answer is Sun set legislation.
A sunset clause provides that a law, or a provision of it, will cease to have effect on a stated date unless the legislature acts to extend it. Legislation of this kind terminates automatically, which is what the question describes. Anti-terror laws such as TADA and POTA in India were framed with such time limits.
Executive legislation, subordinate legislation and delegated legislation all refer to rules made by the executive under powers given by a parent Act. They describe who makes the law and under what authority, not the automatic expiry of a law on a fixed date, so none of them fits.
