Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In India, the Panchayati Raj generally refers to the system of local self-government in India introduced by a constitutional amendment in 1992, although it is based upon the traditional panchayat system of the Indian subcontinent. This Panchayati Raj system was formalized in 1992, following a study conducted by a number of Indian committees on various ways of implementing more decentralized administration. It also keeps an eye on the elected representatives and in making them responsible to the persons who elected them. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the factors are not the main aim of the function of Panchayati Raj, hence, incorrect.
