The correct answer is: B) Deputy Commissioner
The Deputy Commissioner (DC) is the administrative head of a district in Karnataka. The DC is appointed by the state government and is responsible for the overall administration of the district. The DC is also the chairman of the District Development Council (DDC), which is responsible for planning and implementing development projects in the district.
The DC is assisted by a number of officers, including the Superintendent of Police (SP), the District Revenue Officer (DRO), and the District Panchayat Officer (DPO). The SP is the head of the police force in the district and is responsible for law and order. The DRO is responsible for revenue collection and land administration. The DPO is responsible for the implementation of the Panchayati Raj system in the district.
The DC is a key figure in the administration of a district and plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth functioning of the district administration.
The other options are incorrect because:
- A) District Magistrate is a position in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and is not the administrative head of a district in Karnataka.
- C) Commissioner of Police is the head of the police force in a city or metropolitan area.
- D) Superintendent of Police is the head of the police force in a district.
