Answer: (B) 73rd Amendment Act

The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, which came into force in April 1993, added Part IX to the Constitution and gave constitutional status to Panchayati Raj, with a three-tier system, regular elections every five years and reservation for women and Scheduled Castes and Tribes.
