Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) governmental funding of parliamentary elections
The 1990 Dinesh Goswami Committee on electoral reforms specifically advocated partial state/ governmental funding of elections (in kind) to curb the role of big money in politics. It did not propose creating State Election Commissions (these were set up later by the 73rd/74th Amendments), nor did it recommend a list-system for Lok Sabha polls or banning independents.
