Correct:
B
Explanation
Currently, both the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) and the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) are constitutional bodies. However, in the context of many competitive exam question banks (especially those reflecting papers prior to 2018), NCST is the standard answer.
- NCST: Established as a constitutional body under Article 338A via the 89th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2003.
- NCBC: Originally a statutory body (1993), it was granted constitutional status under Article 338B by the 102nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 2018.
- NCPCR: A statutory body established under the Commissions for Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005.
- NCM: A statutory body established under the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992.
While both A and B are now correct, NCST has held constitutional status significantly longer.
