Detailed Solution

●        Here, the preposition "on" is appropriate because it is used to signify membership in a group or organisation. The committee is in charge here.
●        The joining of phrases, clauses, and sentences is done via conjunctions. The word "on" is not a conjunction.
●        Interjections are a feature of speech that are more frequently employed in casual speech and writing than in formal writing. Interjections are mostly used to express emotions or abrupt bursts of sensation. An interjection is not "on."
