I got this question in an online quiz.

My enquiry is from Public Policy and PILs in chapter India’s Efforts for Environmental Protection of Energy Management

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) Indian judiciary

For explanation I would say: The Indian judiciary adopted the technique of public interest litigation for the cause of environmental protection in many cases.
