A To study the allocation of resources between the centre and the states.
B To study the demand for the reorganisation of states on a linguistic basis.
C To examine the condition of the secondary education system. Correct
D To formulate an industrial policy for independent India.
Explanation
The Mudaliar Commission, formally the Secondary Education Commission, was appointed in 1952 to review secondary education in India and suggest reforms. It examined aims, curriculum, examination patterns, teacher training and the organisation of secondary schools. Allocation of resources between the centre and states belongs more to finance and federal arrangements. Linguistic reorganisation of states was handled through a different political and administrative process. Industrial policy formulation was tied to economic planning, not the Mudaliar Commission. Hence the purpose connected with secondary education is the correct one.
