Which one of the following statements with regard to the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 is correct?

The correct statement is Option C. According to the Protection of Human Rights (Amendment) Act, 2019, which amended the original 1993 Act, the tenure and reappointment rules for the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) are as follows:

• Term of Office: The Chairperson and Members of an SHRC hold office for a term of three years or until they attain the age of seventy years, whichever is earlier (Section 24).
• Reappointment: The 2019 amendment specifically made the Chairperson and Members eligible for reappointment.

Prior to the 2019 amendment, the term was five years. Options A and B are incorrect due to the duration. Option D is incorrect because the current term is three years, and the specific restriction to "one more term of five years" was replaced by general eligibility for reappointment under the 2019 changes.
