Answer
C
Explanation
The President is constitutionally required to lay before Parliament: (1) Finance Commission recommendations (Art 281), (3) CAG reports (Art 151), and (4) NCSC reports (Art 338). The Report of the Public Accounts Committee (statement 2) is NOT laid before Parliament by the President — the PAC is itself a committee OF Parliament, and its reports are presented to Parliament directly, not via the President.
