      B The President Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C The Governor on the recommendation of a committee Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The Chief Justice of the High Court Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Under Section 15 of the Right to Information Act, the State Chief Information Commissioner and the State Information Commissioners are appointed by the Governor on the recommendation of a committee consisting of the Chief Minister as Chairperson, the Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, and a Cabinet Minister nominated by the Chief Minister. This mirrors the appointment process at the central level. The State Information Commission performs functions analogous to those of the Central Information Commission within the state.
