Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Each House of Parliament has its own Committee of Privileges under its own rules of procedure. Therefore, the House named in the question must be identified before using a membership figure.
Application
The official Lok Sabha committee table lists the Committee of Privileges with 15 members.
The Lok Sabha Rules of Procedure state that the Speaker nominates a Committee of Privileges consisting of not more than fifteen members.
Contrast
The Rajya Sabha has a separate Committee of Privileges with 10 members.
The figures 12, 20, and 22 are not the Lok Sabha membership stated in the cited official rule and committee table.
Result
Thus, the Lok Sabha Committee of Privileges has 15 members.
