The correct answer is 2 only.
The Estimates Committee consists exclusively of members from the Lok Sabha. It has 30 members, all of whom are elected by the Lok Sabha from amongst its members every year by proportional representation. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Committee on Public Undertakings (COPU) both consist of members from both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha (15 from Lok Sabha and 7 from Rajya Sabha for each).
These three committees are financial committees of the Parliament. The Estimates Committee scrutinizes the estimates included in the budget and suggests economies in public expenditure. The PAC examines the annual audit reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), while COPU examines the reports of the CAG on public undertakings and also the working of public sector undertakings.
