Answer: A
Notes:

Explanation: The creation of Andhra state intensified the demand from other regions for creation of states on linguistic basis.

  • This forced the Government of India to appoint (in December, 1953) a three member States Re-organisation Commission under the chairmanship of Fazl Ali to re-examine the whole question.
  • Its other two members were K.M. Panikkar and H.N. Kunzru.
