The correct option is A one-third
The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Acts provided for reservation of one-third of the seats for women in Gram Panchayats, Panchayat Samitis, Zilla Parishads, Municipalities, and Municipal Corporations as well as for the posts of Sarpanch, Chairman and Mayor. Maharashtra and 15 other States reserved 50% seats for women. This provision provides women the opportunity to participate in the development of the society more actively.
