AA village
BA ward
CA division
DA district
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. A ward
1. A District Council is formed from members elected across its area.
2. Each of those members is elected from a ward, which is the constituency for that seat.
3. A village is the lowest local government unit, made of several hamlets and headed by a village chairperson who does not sit on the district council.
4. A division is an administrative unit made of several wards, and it has no elected leader.
5. A district is composed of several divisions and is headed by a district commissioner appointed by the President, so it is not a constituency either.
