Correct Answer: Right to be informed, right to safety, right to choose, right to be heard, right to seek redressal, and right to consumer education


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Right to be informed, right to safety, right to choose, right to be heard, right to seek redressal, and right to consumer education.

The Consumer Protection Act grants consumers several rights to protect their interests and ensure fair trade practices. These rights include:

1. Right to be Informed: Consumers have the right to be informed about the details, quality, quantity, price, ingredients, and potential risks associated with the products or services they purchase. They should receive accurate, truthful, and complete information to make informed choices.

2. Right to Safety: Consumers have the right to be protected against goods and services that may be hazardous to their health or safety. Products should adhere to safety standards, and services should be provided with due care and precautions.

3. Right to Choose: Consumers have the right to choose from a range of products and services at competitive prices. They should have access to multiple options and alternatives without any unfair limitations or discriminatory practices.

4. Right to be Heard: Consumers have the right to voice their opinions, concerns, and complaints about products or services they have purchased. They should have access to appropriate platforms and mechanisms to be heard and have their grievances addressed.

5. Right to Seek Redressal: Consumers have the right to seek timely and efficient redressal of their grievances. They can approach consumer dispute redressal forums or consumer courts to seek compensation, refunds, replacements, or other appropriate remedies for any deficiencies or harm caused.

6. Right to Consumer Education: Consumers have the right to be educated and informed about their rights, responsibilities, and ways to make informed decisions. Consumer education programs and initiatives promote awareness and knowledge among consumers.
