Solution
NCERT lists several reliefs that a Consumer Commission may order, including payment of punitive damages, replacement of a defective product and stopping the manufacture of hazardous goods or hazardous services. Statement (A) is incorrect as written because NCERT says to discontinue an unfair or restrictive trade practice, whereas the statement says fair trade practice. Therefore, (B), (C) and (D) only are correct.
