The correct answer is: b) District Council
The Panchayati Raj system is a system of local self-government in India. It was established by the 73rd and 74th Amendments to the Indian Constitution in 1992. The Panchayati Raj system consists of three levels: the village level, the block level, and the district level.
The apex level of the Panchayati Raj system in Mizoram, found in some districts, is the District Council. The District Council is a unicameral body consisting of elected members. The District Council is responsible for the development of the district and for the welfare of the people of the district.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The Zilla Parishad is the apex level of the Panchayati Raj system in most states of India. However, in Mizoram, the apex level of the Panchayati Raj system is the District Council.
- The Gram Panchayat is the lowest level of the Panchayati Raj system. It is a body of elected representatives from a village.
- The Village Council is a traditional form of local self-government in Mizoram. It is a body of elected representatives from a village.
