Under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, citizens have the right to access information from public authorities. In this context, the correct option is option 4: Border Road Organisation (BRO).

The Border Road Organisation is a central government agency under the Ministry of Defence responsible for infrastructure development in border areas. It is involved in the construction of roads, bridges, and tunnels in strategic locations to enhance connectivity and facilitate the movement of defense forces.

According to the provisions of the RTI Act, citizens can seek information from public authorities, including government departments, ministries, and agencies. Therefore, information held by the Border Road Organisation can be accessed under the RTI Act.

Alert - correct answer should be option 1: National Security Council Secretariat.

Correction: While information held by the Border Road Organisation can be accessed under the RTI Act, the correct option in this question should be option 1: National Security Council Secretariat. The National Security Council Secretariat is a government authority responsible for advising the Prime Minister on matters related to national security. Information held by this authority can also be obtained under the RTI Act.
