A.

It consists of 15 members.

B.

All members are nominated by the Speaker.

C.

Minister of Law and Justice must be its member.

D.

If Deputy Speaker is its member, he heads the committee.

Correct option is C

The Committee on Subordinate Legislation in the Indian Parliament is responsible for scrutinizing the rules, regulations, and other subordinate laws framed under various Acts passed by Parliament.

Composition:

The committee consists of 15 members in the Lok Sabha and 10 members in the Rajya Sabha.
Members are nominated by the Speaker (in the case of the Lok Sabha) and the Chairman (in the case of the Rajya Sabha).
Minister of Law and Justice:

As per parliamentary rules, ministers cannot be members of the Parliamentary Committees like the Committee on Subordinate Legislation. This is because such committees are meant to ensure oversight of the executive, and ministers being part of the executive cannot be included in such committees.
Chairmanship:

If the Deputy Speaker is a member of the committee, by convention, they may chair the committee, although this is not a formal rule.
