Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) NGT Act2010 reflects Article21 and the right to a healthy environment; (B) A retired Supreme Court judge can chair NGT

Explanation

**A, B** are correct in the source’s legal context. The governing Act is 2010, and an eligible former Supreme Court judge may be chairperson. Article361 is not the stated biodiversity duty; environmental duty is associated with Article51A(g). The statutory endeavour for disposal is six months, not45 days. Thus C, D are false.
