Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (Amendment and Validation) Act 2010

Explanation

The AMASR amendment framework identifies the protected-monument prohibited area extending 100 m from the protected limit, followed by the regulated area. Therefore B. The distance is measured from the protected boundary, rather than simply from a monument’s centre; the other Acts concern different subjects.
