Whistleblower are protected under a specific act. What is the act name?

Question

The question asks: 'Whistleblower are protected under a specific act. What is the act name?'

First, I need to restate what is provided: the question is multiple-choice, the given answer is ["Whistleblower Protection Act 2010"], and there are no answer options listed in the data.

Because the answer_options field is empty, there are no alternative choices for me to evaluate or compare. In a typical multiple-choice setup, I would examine each option, explain why the option is correct or incorrect, and reference relevant legal provisions or concepts.

Without any options to compare, I can only discuss the general idea of whistleblower protections and common naming patterns in different jurisdictions, which helps you reason about the likely correct form:

- In the United States, the well-known act is the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA), originally enacted in 1989, with later amendments and related statutes that expand protections. If this question were US-centered, you would expect an option naming the Whistleblower Protection Act or a clearly titled variation.
- In the United Kingdom, whistleblower protections are primarily provided through the Public Interest Disclosure Act of 1998, often referred to in conjunction with the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013, but not a single 'Whistleblower Protection Act.'
- In India, whistleblower protections have been associated with the Whistle Blowers Protection Act, 2011, and related amendments, rather than a generic 'Whistleblower Protection Act 2010.' If the context is Indian law, the year and exact name would differ from 2010.

Given that the provided answer is 'Whistleblower Protection Act 2010,' this naming does not clearly align with the most widely recognized statutes in major jurisdictions, and without explicit choices or jurisdiction context, it’s difficult to validate the match.

Potential pitfalls or misconceptions to watch for:
- Assuming a single global act name for whistleblower protections; many countries have distinct statutes with different naming conventions and years.
- Confusing enactment year with subsequent amendments or related but separate acts.
- If this is a jurisdiction-specific question (e.g., a course or region), the expected act name will depend on that region’s legislative framework, not a generic or unstandardized title.

In summary, with no answer options provided, I cannot evaluate which choice is correct. If you can share the available options (or the jurisdiction/context of the course material), I can provide a detailed comparison of each option and explain why the correct one fits the law in that context.
