Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Parliamentary committees in India are broadly categorized into standing (permanent) and ad hoc committees [t4]. The three primary financial standing committees are the Committee on Public Accounts, the Committee on Estimates, and the Committee on Public Undertakings [t1, t3, t5]. While the 'Demands for Grants' are indeed scrutinized by parliamentary bodies, they are handled by the 24 Departmentally Related Standing Committees (DRSCs) rather than a specific 'Demands for Grants Committee' [c2, t5, t7]. The DRSCs examine the demands for grants of various ministries before they are voted on in the Lok Sabha [c2, t5]. Therefore, while the other three options are well-established, distinct parliamentary committees, the 'Demands for Grants Committee' does not exist as a standalone entity in the Indian parliamentary system; it is a function performed by the DRSCs [t7].
