Answer
Election Commission of India matches with vesting the superintendence, direction, and control of elections to Parliament and State Legislatures. Comptroller and Auditor General of India matches with auditing expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India and submitting reports to the President. Union Public Service Commission matches with submitting an annual report on performance to the President. Finance Commission of India matches with recommending principles governing grants-in-aid and tax distribution.
Each body is correctly paired with its respective constitutional role and reporting framework: Election Commission with election control (Article 324), CAG with financial auditing and reports to the President (Articles 148–151), UPSC with annual performance reports to the President (Article 323), and Finance Commission with tax distribution and grants-in-aid recommendations (Article 280).
