Explanation

The correct option is B: Creamy layer. 

Justice Ramanandan Committee relates to the identification of the creamy layer among the backward classes for the purpose of reservation in public services.

The committee was constituted by the Government of India in 1992 under the chairmanship of Justice K. Ramanandan, a former judge of the Kerala High Court. The committee submitted its report in 1993 and suggested various criteria for determining the creamy layer, such as income, landholding, occupation, education, etc. 

The committee also recommended that the creamy layer should be excluded from the benefits of reservation and that the income limit for defining the creamy layer should be revised periodically.
