Correct option is B
Under the Right to Information (RTI) Act in India, the eligible entities that can request and access information are primarily citizens. The Act allows citizens to seek information from government departments and public authorities. However, certain entities are excluded from the purview of the Act and are not eligible to request information. Corporations, associations, companies, and legal entities are not eligible to get information under the RTI Act. This means that these entities, which are non-individual entities, do not have the right to seek information under the Act. Corporations refer to legally recognized entities formed for business purposes, usually comprising shareholders and managed by a board of directors. Associations can refer to various types of organizations formed for specific purposes, such as non-profit organizations or trade associations. Companies generally refer to legally registered entities that engage in business activities. Legal entities refer to any entity that is recognized by law as having legal rights and obligations, such as corporations, companies, partnerships, etc. These entities, being separate legal entities distinct from individual citizens, do not fall within the scope of individuals who are eligible to seek information under the RTI Act. The Act primarily focuses on empowering citizens and providing them access to information held by government departments and public authorities. Therefore, the correct answer is option (b) - a, b, c, and e only.
