Correct option is D

The correct answer is: (d) Both National Commission for Scheduled Castes and National Commission for Backward Classes are Constitutional bodies.
Explanation:
  1. National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) was established under Article 338 of the Indian Constitution. It was created to investigate and monitor the matters related to the rights and welfare of Scheduled Castes (SCs).

  2. National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) was originally set up as a statutory body by the National Commission for Backward Classes Act, 1993

    Both bodies are tasked with investigating issues related to the welfare of specific communities(SCs and Backward Classes) and making recommendations to the government.​

Information Booster:

  • NCBC was made a constitutional body, and it now operates under Article 338B.
  • The NCBC's Constitutional status allows it to now deal with the inclusion or exclusion of communities from the Backward Classes list.
  • The 103rd Amendment of 2018 was a significant step in giving the NCBC the same status as the NCSC.
