-
A.
42nd Amendment
-
B.
44th Amendment
-
C.
73rd Amendment
-
D.
61st Amendment
Correct Answer:
C. 73rd Amendment
Explanation:
The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992 officially granted constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) in India, establishing a formal three-tier system of local self-government at the village, intermediate, and district levels. This landmark legislation inserted Part IX (Articles 243 to 243-O) and the Eleventh Schedule into the Constitution, which outlines 29 functional items for panchayats. While other amendments like the 42nd and 44th dealt with fundamental rights and duties, and the 61st lowered the voting age, the 73rd Amendment was specifically designed to empower rural local bodies and decentralize political power to the grassroots level. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
