Correct answer: (C) Six

Explanation

The University Grants Commission runs six regional centres across India to decentralise its work.

The figure of four understates the network of regional offices the UGC maintains.

The figure of five is close but still short of the actual number.

The figure of eight overstates the count of these regional centres.

These centres are located at cities such as Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bhopal, Guwahati and Bangalore.

They handle grants and monitoring for colleges and universities in their zones.
