Liberhan Commission has been appointed to deal with which one of the following?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Liberhan Commission, officially known as the Liberhan Ayodhya Commission of Inquiry, was established by the Government of India on December 16, 1992 [t1]. It was formed just ten days after the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya to investigate the sequence of events leading to the destruction of the structure [c1]. Led by Justice M.S. Liberhan, the one-man commission spent 17 years conducting its inquiry, receiving 48 extensions before submitting its final report in June 2009 [c1][t1]. The report identified a conspiracy involving the then-state government of Uttar Pradesh and various organizations in the execution of the demolition [c2][t6]. In contrast, other incidents mentioned in the options were investigated by different bodies, such as the Nanavati Commission for the 1984 anti-Sikh riots [c5] and the Srikrishna Commission for the Mumbai communal riots [t5].
