• A. panchayat
• B. central
• C. municipality
• D. village

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

municipality

Simply put, a central government looks after the entire country, while state governments handle the running of a state. Given the sizeable scope of the responsibilities assigned to these two tiers of government, there arises the need for a third tier in the form of local self-government. Thus, we have ourselves an organisation called the municipality that oversees the provision of public amenities at a local level.
