The correct answer is

Disaster Management Act

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) was established under Section 3 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, which came into force in December 2005 after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

The NDMA is the apex body for disaster management in India, chaired by the Prime Minister; the same Act also provides for State and District Disaster Management Authorities, the National Institute of Disaster Management and the NDRF.

There is no 'National Disaster Management Authority Act', 'National Disaster Authority Act' or 'National Disaster Act' in India.

Hence, the answer is Disaster Management Act.
