Refer to the 1 st paragraph of the given passage- "The said RFP states that .. .in the early detection and prevention of crime against women." This makes only option (b), the correct answer.

The ministry "...have launched this initiative without analysing the evidence on the limited efficacy of such registries in other jurisdictions in reducing rates of repeat offending and without examining its appropriateness in the Indian context." Option (b) is partially correct but the main criticism is not 'the efficiency' of the RFP. Option (c), therefore, is the correct answer.

Refer to-"Sex offender registries are predicated on the assumption that convicted sex offenders have a high likelihood of committing offences after serving their sentences." This makes option (d) a clear-cut answer. The use of the word 'more' makes option (b) incorrect. Other options are invalid as far as the given context is concerned.

Refer to - "The registry records only a tiny proportion .we know that 85% of cases of sexual violence against women...go unreported...address this problem." This clearly makes option (d) the only correct option. Option (1) talks about 'some crime.' The registry deals with a particular type of crime.

Refer to the line, "Before implementing this registry, the Ministry of Home Affairs must create a research base on recidivism among sex offenders and the risk factors and hold a much broader public debate on the need for the registry." Hence, option (c) is the correct answer. The author doesn't suggest that such a database should not be made public at all.
