The correct answer is D.

According to the Panchayati Raj system structure, the Chairman (or President) of the Zila Parishad is elected by and from amongst the elected members of the Zila Parishad itself. Options A, B, and C describe positions at the state or district administrative level but not the elected head of the Zila Parishad body.

While the District Collector serves as the administrative head (CEO or similar) and MLAs/MPs may be ex-officio members without voting rights in some states, the political head, the Chairman, is an elected member of the Zila Parishad.
