Correct Answer:
A. Section 11
The appointment of key administrative officials like Tehsildars is a fundamental aspect of land revenue administration. Section 11 is the correct answer because, in many land revenue acts, this section specifically details the appointment of various classes of Revenue Officers, including Tehsildars, and outlines the authority responsible for their selection and posting. This ensures a clear legal basis for their roles.
- Section 10 often deals with the hierarchy of Revenue Officers.
- Section 12 might cover their general powers or functions.
- Section 13 could relate to the conferment of specific powers.
None of these other sections directly address the foundational power of appointing Tehsildars as comprehensively as Section 11.
