The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Statement II: India's Five-Year Plans began in 1951 (First Plan 1951-56) and ran up to the Twelfth Plan (2012-17). So twelve plans were prepared: Statement II is correct.
Statement I: After the Twelfth Plan, the Planning Commission was dissolved and replaced by NITI Aayog (January 2015), so no Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for 2020-2025 was prepared: Statement I is incorrect.
Answer: (4) Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.
