The correct answer is A. The Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the Parliament is appointed by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.

The Speaker of the Lok Sabha has the authority to appoint chairpersons of various parliamentary committees, including the PAC.

By convention since 1967, the Chairperson of the PAC is a member of the opposition party in the Lok Sabha. This ensures scrutiny of government accounts by the opposition. The committee consists of members from both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, but the Chairperson is appointed by the Speaker of Lok Sabha.
