Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) Village-level self-government and election of committee members
The Uttaramerur inscriptions of the Chola king Parantaka I describe in detail how members of village committees (variyams) were chosen by lot from eligible candidates, along with their qualifications and disqualifications. They are the best evidence of Chola local self-government. The other options are Chola achievements but are documented by different records and sources.
