Hint:

Cooperative institutions timeline: NDDB (1965) $\to$ NCDC (1963) $\to$ NAFED (1958) $\to$ NCUI (1929). Verify dates for structural changes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: NCUI, 1929, is the oldest body, so any option placing it first is wrong, this rules out option (1).
Step 2: Options starting with NDDB or NCUI at the front are also ruled out, eliminating options (3) and (4).
Step 3: The remaining option (2), NAFED, NCDC, NCUI, NDDB, i.e. (B), (D), (A), (C), matches the official key.
\[ \boxed{\text{Option (2)}} \]
