Solution

The correct option is B To decentralise political power
Local problems are better understood by the affected people themselves. Thus, to enable people to make decisions directed towards resolving their problems in an effective way, power needed to be decentralised. This was one of the main objectives behind the introduction of Panchayati Raj.
