The correct option is D
Notified Area Committee
Explanation: Notified Area Committee is established by a notification in the government gazette, hence, it is called a notified area committee.
Though it functions within the framework of the State Municipal Act, only those provisions of the act apply to it which are notified in the government gazette by which it is created. It may also be entrusted to exercise powers under any other act.
Its powers are almost equivalent to those of a municipality. But unlike the municipality, it is an entirely nominated body, that is, all the members of a notified area committee including the chairman are nominated by the state government. It is neither an elected body nor a statutory body.
