CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Prime Minister is Chairperson by virtue of office.
Day-to-day work is led by a Vice-Chairperson appointed by the government, and by a Chief Executive Officer.
The Governing Council brings in the Chief Ministers of all the states and the Lieutenant Governors of union territories.
Worth noting
The Prime Minister chaired the Planning Commission too. What changed in 2015 was the institution's powers, not who sat at its head.
