B:

C:
Within a period of 6 months from the date of incident
D:
Within a period of 3 months from the date of incident
Explanation
The correct answer is (D) Within a period of 3 months from the date of the incident.
As per the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013, the time period for filing a complaint of sexual harassment at the workplace is within three months from the date of the incident. This applies to cases where an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) has been constituted.
If an ICC has not been constituted in the organization, the complaint can be filed with the Local Committee within the same time frame of three months from the date of the incident.
It is important to note that the time period for filing a complaint may vary in different jurisdictions or under specific company policies, so it is advisable to refer to the applicable laws and regulations or internal guidelines of the organization to determine the exact time frame for filing a complaint of sexual harassment.
