{'autonomous district council': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'years': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'tenure': [4, 1, 5, 6], 'council': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'election': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'administration': [6, 1, 11, 15], 'date': [3, 1, 5, 11], 'oath': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'first meeting': [1, 0, 2, 3]}

Option 1 states that the tenure of the elected members of the Autonomous District Council is five years from the date of election. This means that once elected, the members would serve for five years before their positions are up for re-election.

Option 2 states that the tenure is five years from the date appointed for the first meeting of the Council after the election. This means that the clock starts ticking for the five-year term from the moment the first meeting of the Council is set after the election.

Option 3 states that the tenure is six years from the date of administration of the Oath. This means that the members would serve for six years starting from the day they take the Oath of office.

Option 4 states that the tenure is six years from the date of election. This means that the members would serve for six years from the moment they are elected.

The correct answer is option 2, which means that the tenure of the elected members is five years from the date appointed for the first meeting of the Council after the election.
