\nStatement C is not correct.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of India deals with the administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in any State other than the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram (which are covered under the Sixth Schedule). The Governor of a state containing Scheduled Areas has specific powers regarding their administration.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatement A is correct as it describes the scope of the Fifth Schedule excluding the four northeastern states.
\nStatement B is correct; the Constitution provides for the constitution of Tribal Advisory Councils in states having Scheduled Areas to advise the Governor on matters pertaining to the welfare and advancement of the Scheduled Tribes.

Paragraph 5(2)(a) of the Fifth Schedule explicitly authorizes the Governor to make regulations for the peace and good government of any Scheduled Area, and these regulations may include prohibiting or restricting the transfer of land by or among members of the Scheduled Tribes.
\nStatement D is correct; the Governor of each state having Scheduled Areas is required to submit a report annually, or whenever required, to the President regarding the administration of the Scheduled Areas in that state.
