Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

An ombudsman is a person who has been appointed to look into complaints about companies and organisations. Ombudsmen are independent, free of charge and impartial – that is, they don't take sides with either the person who is complaining or the organisation being complained about.

The public complaints commission or the ombudsman is the institution established by the federal government to entertain from citizens, complaints of injustice, corruption, unfair treatment and abuse of office by public officers.
