Option 4 : (B) and (E) only

The demand for reorganization of the states on the basis of language was an outcome of linguistic pluralism in India.

Statement (A): The Linguistic Provinces Commission of 1948 was headed by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

Due to the continuous demands of linguistic provinces, the Constituent Assembly, in June 1948, appointed the Linguistic Provinces Commission, headed by Justice S.K. Dhar, to enquire into the need of linguistic provinces.

Thus, the statement (A) is not correct.

Statement (B): In 1952. Potti Sriramulu undertook a fast unto death over the demand for a separate Andhra state.

The first demand for a linguistic province was seen in the Telugu-speaking region of Andhra.
In 1952, Potti Sriramulu undertook a fast unto death over the demand for a separate Andhra state.

Hence, the statement (B) is correct.

Statement (C): The States Reorganization Act was passed by the Parliament as late as 1968

In November 1956, the States Reorganization Act was passed by the Parliament which provided for 14 states and 6 centrally administered territories.

Hence, the statement (C) is not correct.

Statement (D): In the case of Punjab, the Akali Dal and the Hindu right wing supported each other.

In the case of Punjab, the Akali Dal and the Hindu right wing were against each other.

Thus, the statement (D) is not correct.

Statement (E): Article 347 of the constitution protects the rights of lingusitic minorities.

The Article 347 of the constitution has special provision relating to language spoken by a section of the population of a State. It protects the rights of lingusitic minorities.

Therefore, the statement (C) is correct.

Hence, we can conclude that only statements (B) and (E) are correct.
