Which one of the following is the largest Committee of the Parliament?

A
The Committee on Public Accounts
B
The Committee on Estimates
Correct Answer
C
The Committee on Public Undertakings
D
The Committee on Petitions

Explanation

The Committee on Estimates is the largest because it consists of 30 members, all of whom are elected solely from the Lok Sabha. While the Committee on Public Accounts is a prominent financial committee, it is smaller with only 22 members (15 from Lok Sabha and 7 from Rajya Sabha). This question tests the core concept of the composition and numerical strength of various Parliamentary Committees in India.
