AI explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the role of the Chief Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) of India. The CVC is an independent constitutional authority responsible for overseeing the vigilance administration in the country. The CVC is appointed by the President of India on the recommendation of a committee consisting of the Prime Minister, the Minister of Home Affairs, and the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.

Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Mr. Vinod Rai - This option is incorrect because Mr. Vinod Rai is a former Comptroller and Auditor General of India, and not the present Chief Vigilance Commissioner.

Option B) P J Thomas - This option is correct because P J Thomas was the Chief Vigilance Commissioner of India. However, it is important to note that the Chief Vigilance Commissioner is a position that changes over time, and the present Chief Vigilance Commissioner may not be the same as when this response was written.

Option C) Nirupama Rao - This option is incorrect because Nirupama Rao is a former Indian diplomat and not the Chief Vigilance Commissioner.

Option D) Navin Chawla - This option is incorrect because Navin Chawla is a former Chief Election Commissioner of India and not the Chief Vigilance Commissioner.

The correct answer is B) P J Thomas, as per the information provided. However, please note that the Chief Vigilance Commissioner position is subject to change, so it is important to verify the most up-to-date information.
