Model Answer

(C) State Election Commission

Each State has a State Election Commission responsible for conducting panchayat and municipal elections in that state.

Explanation

This is from the chapter on Federalism (Power Sharing). The Constitution (73rd and 74th Amendments) established State Election Commissions — separate from the Election Commission of India — to supervise local body elections. Don't confuse the two: ECI handles Lok Sabha and state legislative assembly elections, while the State Election Commission handles panchayat and municipal elections.
