      A A fee is paid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B The applicant is a relative Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C The PIO permits it Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The larger public interest justifies the disclosure Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Under Section 8(1)(j) of the Right to Information Act, information which relates to personal information, the disclosure of which has no relationship to any public activity or interest, or which would cause unwarranted invasion of the privacy of an individual, is exempt, unless the Public Information Officer or the appellate authority is satisfied that the larger public interest justifies the disclosure. This provision protects individual privacy while allowing disclosure where the public interest outweighs the privacy concern, balancing transparency and privacy.
