Correct Answer:
A. Government of India Act, 1919
Explanation:
The concept of a Public Service Commission was first recommended by the Government of India Act, 1919. Also known as the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms, Section 96C of this Act proposed the establishment of a Public Service Commission in India to oversee the recruitment and functions of the civil services. Following this recommendation, the Lee Commission was appointed in 1923, which further advocated for the immediate setup of the commission, leading to the eventual formation of the first Public Service Commission in 1926. While the Government of India Act, 1935, later expanded this system by creating Federal and Provincial Public Service Commissions, the foundational recommendation originated with the 1919 Act.
