Explanation

In the Indian Parliamentary system, there are three main Financial Standing Committees tasked with ensuring executive accountability regarding public finance:

  • Public Accounts Committee (PAC): Examines the appropriation accounts and the finance accounts of the Union Government and the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG). It consists of 22 members (15 from Lok Sabha and 7 from Rajya Sabha).
  • Estimates Committee: Suggests economies in public expenditure and reports on improvements in organization and efficiency. It consists of 30 members, all from the Lok Sabha.
  • Committee on Public Undertakings: Examines the reports and accounts of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). It also consists of 22 members (15 from Lok Sabha and 7 from Rajya Sabha).

Since all three listed committees are financial committees of the Parliament, option A is correct.
