पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option D (None of the above).

Key Points:
• Administration of Cantonment Boards (Cantonments Act, 2006):
• Statement (a) is INCORRECT: In a Category I Cantonment Board, there are eight (8) elected members, not nine.
• Statement (b) is INCORRECT: The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a Cantonment Board belongs to the Indian Defence Estates Service (IDES) and is appointed by the President of India / Central Government, NOT personally by the Defence Minister.
• Statement (c) is INCORRECT: Under Section 12 of the Cantonments Act, 2006, Cantonment Boards are classified into four (4) categories based on population (Category I: >50,000; Category II: 10,001–50,000; Category III: 2,501–10,000; Category IV: up to 2,500), not three.
• Statement (d) is INCORRECT: Under Section 19, the Vice-President is elected only by the elected members from amongst themselves, NOT by all elected and nominated members.
• Hence, NONE of the statements are correct (Option 4).
• Key Takeaway: Cantonment Boards are divided into 4 categories; CEOs are appointed by the Central Government; Vice-Presidents are elected by elected members only.
