(B) One-third
One-third of seats in local government bodies (panchayats and municipalities) are reserved for women.
The textbook (Chapter 3, Gender and Politics) clearly states: "One-third of seats in local government bodies – in panchayats and municipalities – are now reserved for women." This was done through the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Acts of 1992. Remember: this one-third reservation applies to local bodies, not Lok Sabha or State Assemblies (where the Women's Reservation Act 2023 now provides 33% reservation, but that is a separate Act, not the 1992 amendment).
