Correct:
A
Explanation
The G.V.K. Rao Committee (1985) is not correctly matched because it recommended making the District (not the Block) the basic unit for planning and development. It famously described Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) as "grass without roots" and proposed the creation of the post of District Development Commissioner to lead development at the district level.
- Dantwala Committee: Correctly matched. M.L. Dantwala chaired the Working Group on Block Level Planning (1978) and the Committee on Regional Rural Banks (1977), which is directly related to Rural Credit.
- Santhanam Committee (1963): Correctly matched. It was specifically appointed to examine Panchayati Raj Finances and recommended that PRIs be given powers to levy certain taxes.
- Ashok Mehta Committee (1977): Correctly matched. It was a landmark committee on Panchayati Raj Institutions that suggested a two-tier system.
