Explanation

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is a statutory body established under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. According to Section 4 of the Act, the Chairperson and other members are appointed by the President of India by warrant under his hand and seal.

While the President is the formal appointing authority, the appointments are made based on the recommendations of a six-member selection committee consisting of:

  • The Prime Minister (Chairperson)
  • The Speaker of the Lok Sabha
  • The Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha
  • The Leaders of the Opposition in both Houses of Parliament
  • The Union Minister of Home Affairs

Since the final warrant of appointment is issued by the President, option A is the correct answer.
