The correct answer is B. 1956.
The States Reorganisation Commission was set up in 1953 to recommend a new administrative arrangement for the Indian states. The Commission submitted its report in 1955, and the States Reorganisation Act was passed in 1956. The Act provided for the reorganisation of the Indian states on linguistic lines. As a result of the Act, 14 new states were created, and the boundaries of several existing states were redrawn. The comprehensive reorganisation of Indian states was completed in 1956.
Option A is incorrect because the States Reorganisation Commission was not set up until 1953.
Option C is incorrect because the States Reorganisation Act was passed in 1956, not 1960.
Option D is incorrect because the comprehensive reorganisation of Indian states was completed in 1956, not 1966.
