This question requires understanding of the local government structure in India as of 1999.

In Option 1, the matchings are incorrect. Zila Parishads at the sub-divisional level is not a local body structure found in Assam and Tribal Councils are not found in Meghalaya.

In Option 2, again the matchings are incorrect. Andhra Pradesh does not have Zila Parishads at the sub-divisional level and Assam does not follow the Mandal Praja Parishad system.

In Option 3, the matchings are also incorrect. Mizoram does not have Zila Parishads at the sub-divisional level and Tribal Councils are not a local body found in Andhra Pradesh.

The correct answer is Option 4. In this case, Zila Parishads are a local body in Assam, the Mandal Praja Parishad is found in Andhra Pradesh, Tribal councils are a feature of Mizoram, and Meghalaya is unique in its absence of village Panchayats. Hence, each body is correctly matched with their corresponding state.
