Correct Answer:
B. Supervising Tapedar
The term Kanungo refers to a supervisory revenue official responsible for overseeing the work of Tapedars or Patwaris. Their role is crucial in maintaining land records and revenue administration.
- Supervising Tapedar is the correct answer because a Kanungo's primary duty involves supervising the Tapedars, who are village-level revenue officials responsible for land records.
- Only revenue heads is too broad; Kanungo is a specific position within the revenue hierarchy, not all revenue heads.
- Tehsildar is a higher-ranking officer, not included within the definition of Kanungo.
- Village Officer is a general term and doesn't specifically define the Kanungo's supervisory role over Tapedars.
