  2. BMinistry of Railways
  3. CMinistry of Parliamentary AffairsCorrect
  4. DMinistry of Transport

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs is the nodal agency responsible for constituting all Consultative Committees of Members of Parliament for various Ministries and Departments, including those for Railway Zones. While these committees are chaired by the Minister in charge of the respective Ministry, their formation, membership allocation, and overall administration are handled by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs. This is done to facilitate formal interaction between the Government and Members of Parliament on the functioning of various departments. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not hold the administrative mandate for the formal constitution of such legislative committees.
