Correct answer: B
Explanation
NITI Aayog came into being on 1 January 2015.
The decision had been announced from the Red Fort on 15 August 2014, which is the date often confused with it.
NITI stands for National Institution for Transforming India.
Worth noting
The change was as much about role as about name: the Planning Commission allocated funds to states, and NITI Aayog does not.
