Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

While the Tarkunde Committee (1975), the Dinesh Goswami Committee (1990), and the Indrajit Gupta Committee on State Funding of Elections (1998) endorsed partial state funding (in kind) for recognized political parties, the 170th Report of the Law Commission of India on Reform of the Electoral Laws (1999), chaired by Justice B.P.
