Let's go through the step-by-step reasoning to determine the correct answer:

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) was established under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. This act was enacted by the Parliament of India to provide for the establishment of a National Human Rights Commission, State Human Rights Commissions in States, and Human Rights Courts.
-
The NHRC was formally constituted on October 12, 1993, following the enactment of the Protection of Human Rights Act. This is a significant date as it marks the beginning of a legislative framework for human rights protection in India.
