Explanation

The correct option is C: The Advocates Act, 1961.

This is the act that confers the rule making power on the Bar Council of India under Section 49. The act also mentions the powers and functions of the Bar Council of India, such as regulating legal practice and education, administering the All India Bar Examination, establishing standards of professional conduct and etiquette, and punishing advocates for misconduct. The other options are incorrect because there is no such act as The Advocates Act, 1951, 1954, or 1964. The Advocates Act, 1961 replaced the earlier Indian Bar Councils Act, 1926 and the Legal Practitioners Act, 1879
