Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
India's governance runs across distinct administrative tiers, and each tier is conventionally identified with a particular head. The Prime Minister heads the Union Council of Ministers and exercises the real executive authority of the Union government (Article 74), even though the President remains the constitutional/ceremonial head of state (Article 53). The Governor is the constitutional head of a State, in whom the State's executive power is vested (Articles 153-154). An elected Mayor conventionally heads a Municipal Corporation -- an urban local body whose institution was constitutionalized by the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 (the office's exact powers are governed by state municipal law). An elected Sarpanch heads a Gram/Village Panchayat, the basic rural self-government unit constitutionalized under the Panchayati Raj system by the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 (again, the office's powers are governed by state panchayat law).

Cross-check
Verify each pairing independently: the Prime Minister is the working head of the Union government via the Council of Ministers (Article 74); the Governor is the State's constitutional head, in whom State executive power is vested (Articles 153-154); the Mayor is the conventional head of a Municipal Corporation, an institution constitutionalized by the 74th Amendment; and the Sarpanch is the head of a Village Panchayat, an institution constitutionalized by the 73rd Amendment. All four pairings hold, and this matches the UPTET 2019 Paper-1 official answer key for this item.
