Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Election Commission
Article 324 of the Constitution specifically establishes the Election Commission of India. The UGC, NHRC and CVC are created by statutes or executive resolutions rather than by an explicit constitutional article, so option (c) is the only commission set up under a constitutional provision.
