Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The Planning Commission of India (which existed from 1950 to 2014 before being replaced by NITI Aayog) had the Prime Minister of India as its ex-officio Chairman. The Deputy Chairman handled most day-to-day operations, but the Prime Minister remained the head of the Commission.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) Prime Minister.
