Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under Section 65(1) of the Waqf Act, 1995, the Board can take direct management when no suitable mutawalli is available or when filling the vacancy would prejudice the waqf’s interests. A notified period may total no more than five years under that subsection. For the second ground, the Board must record its reasons in writing, so a statement dispensing with reasons is incorrect.
