D Correct answer
Explanation

The assertion (A) is FALSE - Finance Commission recommendations must be laid before BOTH Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha AND Rajya Sabha), not just the Lok Sabha. Article 281 requires the President to cause recommendations to be laid before Parliament as a whole. The reason (R) is TRUE - the Finance Commission is indeed a constitutional body under Article 280. Therefore, option D (A is false, R is true) is correct.
