Which of the following is NOT a level of the Panchayat Raj system?

Correct option is A

The Panchayat Raj system is a decentralized form of government that consists of three levels of governance at the local level:
1. Village Panchayat (d): This is the lowest level of the Panchayat Raj system, where local governance takes place within villages.
2. Block Panchayat (b): The Block Panchayat operates at the intermediate level, covering a group of villages or a block.
3. Zilla Panchayat (c): This is the district-level Panchayat, overseeing a larger area of governance that includes multiple blocks or villages.
However, there is no specific level called State Panchayat (a). The State is governed by the state government, which is separate from the Panchayat Raj system. The Panchayat system operates at the village, block, and district levels.
