Correct answer: (b) district-level administration
Explanation

village-level administration
Village-level. Too low for Pradeshika, Rajuka and Yukta as a set.

district-level administration
District-level administration. Ashokan inscriptions place these officers at the district tier.
- C
provincial administration
Provincial administration. The usual upgrade trap.
- D
level of the central administration
The centre. Too high.
Summary. Official Set A key is (b) district-level. Pradeshika, Rajuka and Yukta appear together in Ashokan administration as the district officers who toured, assessed and carried out royal orders. Village staff and the provincial governor are neighbouring rungs, not the official grouping here.
