  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. None

Answer

1

Only one row is correctly matched. Row 1 is wrong because CEIB is under the Ministry of Finance, not Home Affairs, though its coordinating role is broadly correct. Row 2 is wrong because SFIO investigates complex corporate frauds but is under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, not the Ministry of Finance. Row 3 is correct: CBI is under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, and the stated function matches its anti-corruption/economic-offences role.
