Explanation
The correct answer is Jitan Ram Manjhi, the Union Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, who presided over the committee's meeting at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi. Option B names Shobha Karandlaje, the Minister of State for MSME, who was present at the same meeting but in the chair of the vice-chairperson, not the chairperson. Option C names Bharat Khera, the Secretary of the ministry, who attended and placed the review of Hindi work before the members; a Secretary is an officer of the ministry and does not chair an advisory committee of this kind.
