DMungerilal Commission

Explanation

The Inter-State Council is a constitutional body under Article 263 of the Constitution. It was set up by a Presidential Order in 1990 on the recommendation of the Sarkaria Commission on Centre-State Relations (1983-88). The Commission had recommended a permanent inter-governmental forum to discuss subjects of common interest and make recommendations for better coordination. The Punchhi, Rajamannar and Mungerilal Commissions are not associated with its creation. Hence option B is correct.
