Explanation

In a Gram Panchayat, the Sarpanch (A) is the elected head of the village council, and Ward Members (B) are elected representatives from various wards of the village. The Secretary (C) is a government-appointed official, not an elected one. Gram Sabha Members (D) are all adult residents of the village by default — they are not 'elected' but are members by virtue of residence. Therefore only A and B occupy elected offices.
