Best answer
Answer: A. Sweden
Answer: (a) Sweden
Sweden was the first country to pass a law giving citizens the right of access to government documents (the Freedom of the Press Act). This law is usually dated 1766; the paper prints 1776, but the answer, Sweden, is the same either way. India passed the Right to Information Act in 2005.
