B Correct answer
Explanation

The Planning Commission was established by executive resolution in 1950 and was not a constitutional body. It was replaced by NITI Aayog in 2015. In contrast, Finance Commission, UPSC, and Election Commission are explicitly established by constitutional provisions (Articles 280, 315-323, and 324 respectively) and cannot be abolished by ordinary legislation.
