Complete answer:
The term of office of each member of the State Human Rights Commission is 5 years or 70 years of age.

India's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is a statutory public body established on October 12, 1993, under the Protection of Human Rights Ordinance of September 28, 1993. The Protection of Human Rights Act of 1993 gave it legal status (PHRA). India's National Human Rights Commission is known as the NHRC. Human rights are defined as "rights relating to life, liberty, equality, and dignity of the individual protected by the Constitution or embodied in International Covenants and enforceable by Indian courts," according to the Act.

A person appointed as Chairperson shall hold office for a term of five years from the date on which he enters upon his office or until he attains the age of seventy years, whichever is earlier.

A Chairman and seven additional members make up the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). Three members are ex-officio, and the remaining four are selected by the President on the advice of a Selection Committee. The Prime Minister chairs the Committee, which also includes the Union Home Minister, the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, and the Leaders of the Opposition in both Houses of Parliament.

Hence, the correct option is (C) 5 years i.e, 70 years of age.

Note: The Prime Minister chairs the Committee, which also includes the Union Home Minister, the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, and the Leaders of the Opposition in both Houses of Parliament.
