    C)  Those sections of the society that are considered advanced according to Karpuri Thakur formula

    D)  All sections of upper castes of the society

    Correct Answer: B

While the Supreme Court meant that the more privileged among the backward classes do not dominate the reserved categories, the bare bones of the criteria for judging the creamy layer was left with the state governments.
