Explanation
UPSC dropped this item (marked * in the official key): the 74th Amendment provides for Nagar Panchayat, Municipal Council and Municipal Corporation (not 'City Council'), and there is no one-million-population rule for corporations, so no option is fully correct - the item was not counted for scoring. The stored key C is retained only because the schema requires an option key.
