Correct Option: D

The Planning Commission is an institution which formulates India's Five-Year Plans, among other functions. It is headed by prime minister. However, its planning commission is not the highest decision-making body for planning in India. The highest body is parliament. Once the approach paper is prepared it has to get approval from NDC. After NDC approves it a draft plan is prepared by planning commission which finally is placed before Parliament and the plan becomes effective after parliament approves it .
