Which is the smallest unit of rural local government in United Kingdom ?
Answer: A
The smallest unit of rural local government in the UK is the parish.
In rural England the parish council (in Wales the community council) is the lowest tier of local government. It looks after very local matters such as village halls, footpaths, allotments and playing fields, and can be consulted on planning.
The county is the upper tier, responsible for large services such as education and social care over a wide area. The borough is generally an urban unit, a town with a charter, and in two-tier areas a district or borough council sits between the county and the parish. Because the borough is not the smallest rural unit, 'Both (A) and (C)' is also wrong.
