Correct option is C
The correct answer is: (c) Participation of private enterprise in higher education
(a) Abolition of higher education in India: This goes against the purpose of an education commission.
(b) Restricting women’s entry into colleges: The Hunter Commission aimed to improve education, and restricting women's access would contradict that goal.
(d) Encouraging establishment of more and more public universities in rural India: While the Hunter Commission might have supported this indirectly, its primary focus wasn't on establishing new universities but on improving the existing system.
The Hunter Commission (1882) aimed to improve the educational system in British India. One of its key recommendations was to encourage private participation in funding and managing secondary schools, alongside government support. This aligns with option (c).
