The correct answer is: B. sex discrimination at work place.
Meera Seth was a member of the National Commission for Women (NCW) from 2002 to 2005. In 2003, she was appointed as the Chairperson of the Committee on Sex Discrimination at Workplace. The committee was tasked with examining the issue of sex discrimination at the workplace and making recommendations for its elimination. The committee submitted its report in 2005, which made a number of recommendations, including the enactment of a law against sex discrimination at the workplace, the establishment of a national commission for women, and the setting up of a grievance redressal mechanism.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option A is incorrect because the Meera Seth committee was not related to the development of handlooms. The development of handlooms is the responsibility of the Ministry of Textiles.

- Option D is incorrect because the Meera Seth committee was not related to the banking sector. The banking sector is the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance.
