The question below has one blank, which is indicating that something has been omitted. Find out which option can be used to fill up the blank to make it meaningfully complete.
Faced with conflicting accounts, the panel decided to ________ an independent inquiry panel headed by a retired judge.

Correct option is A

The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) constitute.
“Constitute” means to form or set up a body/committee—exactly the action taken when creating an independent inquiry panel. (Hindi: गठित करना/स्थापित करना).
Example: The government constituted a commission to review the allegations.
Explain why other options are incorrect.
· postpone: to delay (Hindi: स्थगित करना); not about forming a body.
· narrate: to tell a story (Hindi: वर्णन करना/सुनाना).
· escalate: to increase in intensity (Hindi: बढ़ाना/तीव्र करना).
· duplicate: to make a copy (Hindi: प्रतिलिपि बनाना).
