A Correct answer
Explanation

The Finance Commission (Article 280), Election Commission (Article 324), and Union Public Service Commission (Articles 315-323) are all explicitly established by the Constitution of India. The Planning Commission, however, was an extra-constitutional body established by a government resolution in 1950 (now replaced by NITI Aayog in 2015). It was never mentioned in the constitutional text.
