The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The National Development Council (NDC) is an extra-constitutional, non-statutory body chaired by the Prime Minister. It was set up by a resolution of the Government of India on 6 August 1952 to strengthen and mobilise the effort and resources of the nation in support of the Five Year Plans.
Dates in 2010 and 2015 are far too late, and 1 April 1950 is closer to the date of the Planning Commission (15 March 1950).
