A: State Commission
B: Consumer Tribunal
C: National Commission
D: High Court

The answer is: A

Explanation

The correct option is A: State Commission.

Under Section 41 of Consumer Protection Act, 2019, any person aggrieved by an order made by the District Commission may prefer an appeal against such order to the State Commission on the grounds of facts or law within a period of forty-five days from the date of the order. The State Commission has the power to hear and dispose of the appeals against the orders of any District Commission within its jurisdiction. The other options are incorrect because there is no Consumer Tribunal under the Act, the National Commission hears appeals against the orders of the State Commission, and the High Court is not involved in the consumer disputes redressal mechanism under the Act.
