Explanation

Row 1 is incorrect on the Ministry: The Central Economic Intelligence Bureau (CEIB) functions to coordinate between economic intelligence/law enforcement agencies, but it is under the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue), not the Ministry of Home Affairs. Row 2 is incorrect: The Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) does investigate complex corporate frauds, but it operates under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, not the Ministry of Finance. Row 3 is correctly matched: The CBI's mandate includes preserving values in public life and ensuring the health of the national economy, and it functions under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions (Department of Personnel and Training). Hence, only 1 row is correctly matched.
