    Green Tribunal (NGT)?
    A Adjudicating on environmental disputes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Granting environmental clearances for industrial projects Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Imposing penalties for environmental damage Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The NGT is a specialized court that was established in 2010 to hear and adjudicate on environmental disputes and cases related to environmental laws. The NGT has the power to impose penalties for environmental damage and issue directions to prevent environmental damage, but it does not have the power to grant environmental clearances for industrial projects. The power to grant environmental clearance to projects rests with the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
