The correct answer is: a) District.
The Deputy Commissioner (DC) is the administrative head of a district in India. The DC is appointed by the state government and is responsible for the overall administration of the district. The DC is also the head of the district police and the district judiciary.
The Deputy Commissioner is assisted by a number of officers, including the District Magistrate (DM), the Superintendent of Police (SP), and the District Collector (DC). The DM is responsible for the maintenance of law and order in the district, while the SP is responsible for the law and order and the security of the district. The DC is responsible for the collection of revenue and the management of the district’s finances.
The Deputy Commissioner is a very important position in the Indian administrative system. The DC is responsible for the overall development of the district and is the main link between the state government and the people of the district.
The other options are incorrect because:
- A subdivision is a smaller administrative unit than a district.
- A block is a smaller administrative unit than a subdivision.
- A village is the smallest administrative unit in India.
