The correct answer is Option 2:Lokayukta
- Lokpal is the anti-corruption ombudsman for the central government of India.
- Lokayukta is the equivalent institution at the state level.
- Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO) and Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) are different anti-corruption bodies but don't function as ombudsmen.
"A Lokpal (caretaker of people) is an ombudsman in India. The Lokayukta (appointed by the people) is a similar anti-corruption ombudsman organization in the Indian states."
