## Model Answer The correct answer is **(c) 1992**. The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments of 1992 reserved one-third of seats for women in Panchayati Raj bodies (panchayats and municipalities). ## Explanation The 73rd Amendment (rural local bodies) and 74th Amendment (urban local bodies) were both passed in **1992**.
