Explanation
★Statements two, three and five are correct, so the answer is statements two, three and five only.
★A parliamentary committee is one that is appointed or elected by the House or nominated by the Speaker or Chairman.
★It works under the direction of the Speaker or the Chairman and presents its report to the House or to the Speaker or Chairman.
★It has a secretariat provided by the Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha Secretariat.
★Statement one is wrong because a committee made of MPs but formed by the executive or for non-parliamentary purposes is not a parliamentary committee.
★Statement four is wrong because the reports are presented to the House that constituted the committee, not to the President.
★For NET, fix the four defining features of a parliamentary committee: House appointment, Speaker's direction, report to the House, and a House secretariat.
