Explanation

The chronological order of the committees appointed to study and recommend reforms for the Panchayati Raj system in India is as follows:

  • III. B.R. Mehta Committee (1957): Recommended a three-tier Panchayati Raj system based on democratic decentralization.
  • I. Ashok Mehta Committee (1977): Appointed by the Janata Government; it recommended a two-tier system (Mandal Panchayats and Zila Parishads).
  • IV. G.K.V. Rao Committee (1985): Appointed by the Planning Commission to review administrative arrangements for rural development and poverty alleviation.
  • II. L.M. Singhvi Committee (1986): Appointed by the Rajiv Gandhi government; it recommended that Panchayati Raj institutions should be constitutionally recognized and protected.

Thus, the correct chronological sequence is III, I, IV, II, which corresponds to option B.
