Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Imports and Exports (Control) Act, 1947 and the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Ordinance, 1992 (Ord. 11 of 1992) got repealed with the enactment of Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992. But still the answer remains the same because the new act also has “bearing” on biodiversity conservation.
