B. केवल 3 तथा 4 / 3 and 4 only
C. केवल 1,2 तथा 3 / 1, 2 and 3 only
D. केवल 3 / 3 only

Explanation:

The Chairman and members of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) can be removed by the President on the ground of misbehavior, but only after the Supreme Court, on a reference made to it by the President, has inquired into the matter and reported that the Chairman or member ought to be removed. Parliament does not have a direct role in this removal process, unlike the removal of judges of the High Court, Supreme Court, and the CAG, which involves an address by Parliament.
