A Correct answer
Explanation

The Prime Minister of India served as the ex-officio Chairman of the Planning Commission (which has now been replaced by NITI Aayog). This was because the Planning Commission was the highest body for formulating development plans, and the Prime Minister as the head of government naturally chaired it. Other ministers including Finance were members but not chair.
