    C inaugurated Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D constituted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence describes the formal creation of INC committees. "Constituted" (to formally create or establish) is the most appropriate choice here. It conveys the idea of legally or officially establishing something, which is the intent of the sentence. While "formed" could be used in an informal context, it lacks the formal tone that "constituted" conveys. This is a verb and would not fit grammatically here. Inaugurated refers to starting something officially, but not to the creation or establishment of committees. None of these-This is not correct since "constituted" is the most suitable option.
