Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

As per the Cabinet Resolution dated January 1, 2015, the NITI Aayog's composition includes the Prime Minister of India as the ex-officio Chairperson [2]. The Governing Council is a key component, comprising the Chief Ministers of all States and Lieutenant Governors of Union Territories [3]. Additionally, the organizational framework provides for a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to be appointed by the Prime Minister for a fixed tenure, holding the rank of Secretary to the Government of India [2]. While the Union Council of Ministers can have up to four ex-officio members nominated by the Prime Minister, the 'Rural Development Minister' is not specifically named as a permanent constituent in the original 2015 resolution; rather, specific ministers are nominated as ex-officio members or special invitees at the Prime Minister's discretion [3]. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct.
