The correct answer to the question is option 4, Santhanam Committee. The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) was indeed set up based on the recommendation of the Santhanam Committee.

The Santhanam Committee, also known as the Committee on Prevention of Corruption, was appointed in 1962 by the Government of India to suggest measures for the eradication of corruption in public life. The committee was headed by a former chief justice, K. Santhanam.

The committee submitted its report in 1964, which recommended the establishment of a statutory body that would be responsible for overseeing corruption-related matters in government departments. As a result, the Central Vigilance Commission was established in 1964.

The CVC is an independent anti-corruption agency in India that is responsible for preventing corruption in the government. Its main function is to inquire into and investigate complaints of corruption against public officials and to take appropriate action against those found guilty.

In conclusion, the Central Vigilance Commission was set up on the recommendation of the Santhanam Committee, in order to combat corruption in government departments.
