C Correct answer
Explanation

The Planning Commission was not a constitutional body - it was established by a Cabinet resolution in 1950 and could be dissolved or restructured by executive decision (indeed, it was replaced by NITI Aayog in 2015). UPSC (Article 315-323), Election Commission (Article 324), and Finance Commission (Article 280) are all explicitly established by the Constitution of India.
