Solution

The correct option is A Women and SC
The term ‘Panchayat’ literally means ‘Council of Five’, but it can consist of seven to fifteen members in the modern system. The members are elected from among the sabha. Two of its seats are reserved - one for a member of the scheduled caste(SC) and one for a woman.
