aSecretary of NITI Aayog
bSecretary, Ministry of Planning and Program Implementation
cVice President of NITI Aayog
dChairman of the Finance Commission of India
eNone of the above / more than one of the above✓ Correct

Explanation

The NITI Aayog was established by the Central Government on 1 January 2015. Earlier, the Planning Commission and the National Development Council were related to each other because the approval and implementation of the Planning Commission’s reports were done by the National Development Council, whereas at present, NITI Aayog has its own Governing Council. Therefore, in the current context, it is not possible to explain the relationship between the National Development Council and NITI Aayog.
