Which of the following statements about the Ethics Committee in the Lok Sabha are correct ? 1. Initially it was an ad-hoc Committee. 2. Only a Member of the Lok Sabha can make a complaint relating to unethical conduct of a member of the Lok Sabha. 3. This Committee cannot take up any matter which is sub-judice. Select the answer using the code given below :

Defines 'Ad hoc committees' as bodies constituted from time to time (by motion or Speaker) to inquire into specific subjects, implying temporariness and purpose-specific formation.

A student could check whether the Ethics Committee was described as time-limited or created for a specific inquiry to see if it fits this ad-hoc pattern.

States the Ethics Committee was constituted in Lok Sabha in 2000 and describes its ongoing functions and fixed membership (5 members).

Compare this single founding date and permanent-sounding functions with the ad-hoc definition to judge whether it was intended as a permanent/standing body or a temporary one.

Describes 'Consultative Committees' as committees that are constituted after a new Lok Sabha and that dissolve on dissolution, illustrating a category of temporary committees tied to a Lok Sabha term.

A student could ask whether the Ethics Committee is tied to the life of a Lok Sabha (temporary) or continues across dissolutions (standing).

Gives an example (Committee on Papers Laid on the Table, constituted 1975) with defined membership and ongoing functions, illustrating how standing committees are described with constitution dates and continuing roles.

Compare the language used for this standing committee with the Ethics Committee entry to infer whether Ethics was set up as a standing committee.

Describes the Committee on Public Undertakings (created in 1964) with regular election of members, showing another model of a permanent parliamentary committee.

A student could contrast the Ethics Committee's membership selection and permanence with this example to judge if Ethics followed the standing-committee model.
