Explanation
In urban local administration, ward councillors are elected representatives who form various committees to resolve governance issues such as water supply, sanitation, roads, and lighting. The Commissioner is appointed by the state government (not elected) and implements decisions rather than making the budget alone — the budget is approved by elected representatives. Sarpanch is a rural office, not urban. Therefore option 3 correctly describes the functioning of urban local administration.
