Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Constitution (Seventy-third Amendment) Act, 1992, was enacted to provide constitutional recognition to rural local governments in India [2]. It inserted a new Part IX (Articles 243 to 243-O) and the Eleventh Schedule into the Constitution, establishing a three-tier system of Panchayati Raj at the village, intermediate, and district levels [7]. This amendment aimed to organize village panchayats as 'units of self-government' in alignment with the Directive Principles of State Policy under Article 40 [6]. While the 73rd Amendment focuses on rural panchayats, the 74th Amendment deals with municipal self-government [5]. Other options, such as the creation of Jharkhand (Bihar Reorganisation Act, 2000) and the Special Officer for Linguistic Minorities (7th Amendment, 1956), are unrelated to this specific act.
