Explanation
The Sarkaria Commission (1983–1988), chaired by Justice R.S. Sarkaria, was appointed to review and strengthen Centre–State relations. It did not deal with police reforms (Malimath Committee), tax reforms (Raja Chelliah Committee) or electoral reforms. Hence Centre–State relations is correct.
