Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

Delegated legislation refers to laws made by bodies or individuals other than the legislature but with the legislature’s authority (e.g., ministers, local governments, or agencies). It is justified because parliaments often take too long to pass laws due to lengthy debates and bureaucratic processes, so delegated legislation allows for quicker decision-making on technical or urgent matters.
