Solution

The correct option is D jurisdiction
Every Patwari is assigned a group of villages for which he/she must be responsible. A Patwari is also known as the Village Accountant. It is said that there are currently around 1,00,000 Patwaris keeping track of the land records and collecting land revenue from over 6,00,000 villages in the country. Despite being an official who is located lower down in the hierarchy of the department, Patwaris wield considerable influence in their respective areas of jurisdiction.
