Explanation

The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) is a statutory body where the Central Vigilance Commissioner and Vigilance Commissioners are appointed by the President of India by warrant under his hand and seal [1]. This appointment is based on the recommendation of a three-member committee [1]. This committee consists of the Prime Minister as the Chairperson, the Minister of Home Affairs as a member, and the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha [1]. According to the Central Vigilance Commission Act, 2003, if no Leader of the Opposition is recognized, the Leader of the single largest group in opposition in the Lok Sabha is included in the committee. Therefore, all three statements are correct: the President is the appointing authority, the Home Minister is a committee member, and the leader of the single largest opposition group can serve on the panel under specific circumstances.
