The correct answer is (c) 29.

The 11th Schedule of the Constitution of India lists 29 subjects that are to be dealt with by the Panchayats. These subjects include agriculture, animal husbandry, minor irrigation, fisheries, social forestry, small-scale industries, khadi and village industries, rural housing, drinking water, roads, rural electrification, non-conventional energy sources, poverty alleviation programmes, education, women and child development, public health, family welfare, sanitation, social welfare, welfare of the handicapped and the aged, and village planning.

The 11th Schedule was added to the Constitution by the 73rd Amendment Act, 1992. The Act also provided for the establishment of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) at the village, intermediate and district levels. The PRIs are responsible for the implementation of the schemes and programmes listed in the 11th Schedule.

The 11th Schedule is an important part of the decentralization of power in India. It has helped to empower the people at the grassroots level and has led to a significant improvement in the delivery of services in rural areas.
