Detailed Solution

1)      Each village or collection of villages has a gram panchayat. A Panchayat Samiti, a Block or Mandal, comprises a few gram panchayats. The Zilla Parishad comprises elected members from all of the Panchayat Samitis or Mandals in a district. The Chairperson is the political leader of Zilla Parishad.
2)      Municipalities or Municipal Committees in towns and Municipal Corporations in large cities make up urban local government, also known as Nagar Palika. The Mayor of the City is the Chairperson of the Municipal Corporation.
3)      There is no relationship between the mayor's post and the Zilla Parishad chairperson. Both are the head in their respective area. Therefore, Option 2 is correct.
