The members of both these organizations are appointed on the basis of the recommendation of a committee consisting of the Prime Minister, Leader of Opposition, and Chief Justice of India.

This statement is incorrect. The appointment of the Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) and the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) involves a different process. The CVC is appointed by the President of India on the basis of the recommendations of a committee that includes the Prime Minister, the Home Minister, and the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha. The CBI Director is appointed by a committee consisting of the Prime Minister, the Chief Justice of India, and the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha.

The CVC exercises superintendence over the functioning of CBI insofar as it relates to the investigation of offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

This statement is correct. The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) exercises superintendence over the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in matters related to the investigation of offenses under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

Therefore, the correct option is 2 only.
