Which of the following statements is not correct ?
Answer: A
The statement that is not correct is Gram Sabha is representative body.
The Gram Sabha is not elected; it consists of every person registered in the electoral rolls of the village. It is a body of direct democracy, where the people themselves meet, rather than a representative body. The representative body at village level is the Gram Panchayat, whose members are elected by the Gram Sabha's members.
The other statements are accepted. Article 243(b) defines the Gram Sabha and Article 243A provides for its powers, both inserted by the 73rd Amendment (1992), which is why it is called a constitutional body created by that Amendment. It is also the base, or lowest unit, of the Panchayati Raj system of local self-government.
