This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (17-Sep-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985

The Central Administrative Tribunal was set up under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985, enacted by Parliament pursuant to Article 323A of the Constitution.

It adjudicates disputes and complaints relating to recruitment and service conditions of persons appointed to public services and posts under the Union and its instrumentalities.

The other named acts do not exist in this form as the enabling statute for CAT, making them incorrect.

Hence, CAT was established under the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985.
