The correct answer is B) Rajamannar Commission.
The Rajamannar Commission was appointed by the Government of Tamil Nadu in 1969 to examine the Centre-State relations in India and suggest changes. The Commission made extensive recommendations regarding the distribution of powers, advocating for increased autonomy for the states. While the original distribution of powers in the Indian Constitution is largely based on the Government of India Act, 1935, among the options provided, the Rajamannar Commission is the one most prominently associated with studying and recommending changes to the distribution of powers between the Union and the States.
