A Correct answer
Explanation

Under Article 137 of the Limitation Act, 1963, when no specific limitation period is prescribed, the general limitation period is 3 years from when the right to apply accrues. This applies to civil suits, appeals, and applications. One year is too short for general applications, and 'anytime' would defeat the purpose of limitation law (which ensures timely dispute resolution).
