The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the 73rd and 74th Amendments. The 73rd Amendment Act (1992) granted constitutional status to Panchayati Raj institutions, empowering rural local governance. The 74th Amendment Act (1992) provided constitutional recognition to urban local bodies (Municipalities).
Step 2: Why is the Answer (b) Correct? Both amendments strengthened local self-governance by providing decentralization of power to grassroots democracy. These amendments added Schedules 11 and 12 to the Constitution, listing functions of Panchayats and Municipalities.
