It enforces the Competition Act, 2002 and works to promote fair competition, protect consumer interests and ensure freedom of trade in markets. It is a quasi-judicial authority and the correct choice among the given options. The consumer forums and the Central Vigilance Commission do not perform this competition-regulation function.
