According to me, Option D is correct as it only talks about the meeting and not about the institute running or the meeting being dissolved, who knows they might keep another meeting after another year.

Somewhere along the lines, English words were not properly employed. The pronoun "for" should be used somewhere instead of "after".

Really?? Next meeting will be held after one year and board members could decide to shut down institute. If the question was about the function for this year than option A would have been the correct answer.

Answer must be d as the institute will remain in function after one year? What about till one year?

But "after" the meeting, the institute might not be operative.
The question says "after" one year.
The question says "after" one year.

The 2nd statement tells thae the govt ll dissolve, but in statement they dint mean any thing like dissolving after 1 yr, they only said that meeting ll b held only after 1 yr.. so i think option A is correct. And it is implicit, coz option 2 information is not related with statement.

Is it implies that until the meeting is held the institute will not function?
