The correct answer is option 2 i.e. P.K. Thungon Committee.
The committee that recommended Constitutional recognition for local government bodies in 1989 was the P.K. Thungon Committee.
This committee was formed to examine the functioning of local self-governance in India and suggest measures for its improvement. Based on its recommendations, the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments were enacted in 1992, granting constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions and Urban Local Bodies, respectively. These amendments strengthened the framework for decentralized governance in India.
