Who among the following may be the Chairman of the Zila Parishad?

indian-polity-economylocal-governance

AChief Minister
BDistrict Collector
CMember of Parliament in the District
DElected from its own members

Explanation

Under the Panchayati Raj system, the Chairperson of the Zila Parishad is elected from among its own elected members. The Chief Minister, District Collector, and MPs do not chair it (MPs/MLAs may be members in some states but the chair is an elected member). Hence 'elected from its own members' is correct.
