The delimitation of constituencies and determination of constituencies reserved for SCs (Scheduled Castes) and STs (Scheduled Tribes) in India is a process that is carried out by the Election Commission. The Election Commission is responsible for the conduct of elections in India and ensuring free and fair representation of all sections of the society.

However, the delimitation process is not solely conducted by the Election Commission. It is done with the assistance of the Delimitation Commission. The Delimitation Commission is an independent body that is appointed by the President of India. This commission is responsible for the readjustment of the boundaries of constituencies and the allocation of seats to different areas based on population figures.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4 - the Election Commission with the assistance of the Delimitation Commission. It is important to note that the Planning Commission (option 3) does not play a role in the delimitation process.
