Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Eleventh Schedule, added by the 73rd Amendment Act of 1992, contains 29 functional items within the purview of Panchayats [2]. According to the official list, 'Minor irrigation, water management and watershed development' is listed as item 3, and 'Animal husbandry, dairying and poultry' is listed as item 4. 'Women and child development' is explicitly mentioned as item 25. However, 'Fire services' and 'Cattle pounds; prevention of cruelty to animals' are not part of the Eleventh Schedule; instead, they are functional items (items 7 and 15 respectively) listed under the Twelfth Schedule, which pertains to Municipalities under the 74th Amendment Act. Therefore, only items 1, 2, and 3 from the question are correctly associated with the Eleventh Schedule for Panchayats.
