Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 48B(1) says the Bar Council of India gives such directions "in the exercise of its powers of general supervision and control", matching its function under Section 7(1)(g), and the State Council or committee must comply. The appellate and disciplinary powers deal with individual cases of misconduct, not with directions on how a State Council runs.
