Correct Answer:
B. Commissioner
The designation “Executive District Officer (Revenue)” was substituted for Commissioner in certain administrative reforms. This change reflects a restructuring of the administrative hierarchy, where the functions and authority previously held by a Commissioner in revenue matters were transferred to or re-designated as an Executive District Officer (Revenue). This is a specific administrative nomenclature change.
- Collector is a distinct, lower-level revenue officer, not the position typically substituted by EDO (Revenue).
- Financial Commissioner is a much higher provincial authority.
- Settlement Officer is a specialized role focused on land settlement and record-keeping, not a general administrative position replaced by EDO (Revenue).
