C Correct answer
Explanation

Article 316 of the Constitution provides that the Chairman and other members of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) shall be appointed by the President. This ensures the commission's independence from political influence. The members are not elected by people or Parliament, nor are they appointed by the Council of Ministers. UPSC members serve for 6 years or until age 65, whichever is earlier.
