Correct Answer:
D. 5
According to many revenue laws, there are typically 5 types of revenue officers, forming a hierarchical structure to manage land records, revenue collection, and related disputes. This structure ensures efficient administration and clear lines of authority within the revenue department.
- The common hierarchy includes the Board of Revenue, Commissioner, Collector, Assistant Collector, and Tehsildar/Naib Tehsildar, each with distinct powers and responsibilities.
- Options A (8), B (7), and C (6) are incorrect as they do not align with the standard classification of revenue officers in the relevant legal frameworks, which specifically defines five distinct ranks or types.
