💡 Solution & Explanation
The Estimates Committee has thirty members, all of whom are exclusively elected from the Lok Sabha, making it the largest parliamentary committee in the Indian legislative system.

Incorrect choices such as the Privileges Committee have significantly fewer members and different administrative mandates. This committee examines whether economies and administrative reforms are being efficiently implemented within public expenditure.
