The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Innovation challenges and grand-challenge programmes in India are driven by NITI Aayog (which replaced the Planning Commission in 2015), through initiatives such as the Atal Innovation Mission.
The Finance Commission only recommends the sharing of taxes between the Centre and the states, and the National Planning Committee (1938, under Nehru) was a pre-independence body.
Hence the Grand Innovation Challenge is attributed to NITI Aayog.
