Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- The Indian Pharmacopoeial Commission (IPC) is the official body responsible for setting standards of drugs in India under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
- It also standardizes manufacturing specifications for tooling — particularly the punches and dies used in tablet compression.
- This ensures interchangeability, efficiency, and quality control across different tablet manufacturing lines.
