Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow. Political legitimacy arising from active participation of people in grass roots governance is regarded as a litmus test for democracy. On April 24, 1993, India took a decisive step in meeting that objective. The Panchayati Raj Act conferred constitutional status on Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). Though there were long debates on local-level democracy in the Constituent Assembly, in its first 42 years, the republic’s Constitution reposed trust in the twotier form of government — PRIs found a mention only in Directive Principles of State Policy. The Panchayati Raj Act not only institutionalised PRIs as the mandatory third tier of governance, it transformed the dynamics of rural development by giving a say to a large section of the people — significantly, women — in the administration of their localities. Yet, the churn precipitated by the Act has largely remained unexpressed in national-level politics. There are very few channels that connect the grass roots leader to the politics at higher levels.Why is the active involvement of people in grass roots governance regarded as a decisive test for a democracy such as India?A. It helps in the mobilisation of people belonging to the country's smallest political unit in decision-making. B. It ensures equal and optimum distribution of the economic resources of the country among the masses. C. It generates an interest in the colonial past of the country and aids in the spread of nationalism. D. It helps in mobilising the local politically charged youth to participate in nation-building

Answer»

A. It helps in the mobilisation of people belonging to the country's smallest political unit in decision-making.
