Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

A Parliamentary Committee is defined as a committee that is appointed or elected by the House or nominated by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha or the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha [1]. These committees function under the direction of the presiding officer and present their reports to the House or the presiding officer [1]. For instance, members of Financial Committees like the Public Accounts Committee and the Committee on Public Undertakings are elected by the House from among its members according to the principle of proportional representation. Conversely, members of Department-Related Standing Committees (DRSCs) and other committees like the Business Advisory Committee are typically nominated by the Speaker or the Chairman [2]. Therefore, the appointment process encompasses three distinct methods: appointment or election via a motion adopted by the House, or direct nomination by the presiding officer [1].
