C Correct answer
Explanation

CERC handles IEGC (Indian Electricity Grid Code), ABT (Availability Based Tariff), and facilitates open access and competitive markets in power transmission. However, dispute resolution between generation and distribution authorities is handled by Electricity Regulatory Commissions and Appellate Tribunals, not CERC directly. CERC focuses on tariff regulation and grid operations, not dispute dissolution.
