The correct answer is Option (4) → A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
(A) Jagjivan Ram — this matches (II) Labour Minister of free India.

Note 1: One item fits two entries of List II:
(A) Jagjivan Ram → both (I) and (II). His leader box says he was Deputy Prime Minister of India (1977-79) as well as Labour Minister in the first ministry of free India.
Note 2: The box ‘Shah Commission of Inquiry’, which names Justice J.C. Shah as the head of the Commission, in the chapter ‘The Crisis of Democratic Order’ was there in the pre-rationalised NCERT; this portion has been deleted from subsequent editions of NCERT, including the NCERT book (2026-27), though the chapter is still there.
NCERT (2026-27): Politics in India since Independence — Chapter 6: The Crisis of Democratic Order
NCERT (Pre-rationalised): Politics in India since Independence — Chapter 6: The Crisis of Democratic Order, box ‘Shah Commission of Inquiry’ (the book prints the box title with some letters missing)
