The Chief Information Commissioner shall hold office for a term of five years. 3. The Chief Information Commissioner is eligible for reappointment.

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect as Section 12(2) of the RTI Act, 2005 limits Information Commissioners to 10 (total 11 including CIC). Statement 2 was correct in the original 2005 Act (5-year term), but the 2019 Amendment changed this to a term prescribed by the Centre (currently 3 years). Statement 3 is incorrect as the CIC is not eligible for reappointment. While 'B' reflects the original Act, no option is currently accurate under the 2019 Rules.
