Show answer & explanation
Answer: (D) 3 only
Explanation
Only 3 is correct: Article 243B provides Panchayats at the intermediate level (except States under 20 lakh population). One-third (not 50%) of seats are reserved for women under the Constitution, and the Gram Sabha consists of persons on the village electoral roll, not all residents.
