Answer 1

Answer:

D. To advise on selection for the posts of high diplomatic nature

According to the Indian Constitution, advising on selection for posts of high diplomatic nature is NOT a function of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). On 1st October 1926, the first Public Service Commission was founded in India during the British Raj on the recommendation of the Lee Commission. However, its restricted advisory functions failed to meet the people's expectations.
