• A. 2010-2015
• B. 2015-2020
• C. 2011-2016
• D. 2012-2017

Hint:

Five-Year Plans ended with the 12th Plan (2012-17). After that, NITI Aayog replaced the Planning Commission.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: About Five-Year Plans. India adopted the planning model post-independence for economic development. 
Step 2: Timeline. The 12th Five-Year Plan was approved for the years 2012-2017. Its aim was "Faster, More Inclusive and Sustainable Growth." 
Step 3: Eliminate wrong options. - 2010-2015, 2011-2016 → do not match planning cycle. 
- 2015-2020 → next cycle, not 12th Plan. 
\[ \boxed{\text{2012-2017}} \]
