      A Free of charge Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B After payment of an additional fee Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Under Section 7 of the Right to Information Act, where a public authority fails to comply with the prescribed time limits for providing information, the information must be provided free of charge to the applicant. This provision penalises delay by depriving the authority of the fee it would otherwise charge for supplying the information. It serves as an incentive for public authorities to respond within the stipulated time and as a measure of relief to applicants facing delays.
