Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Fifth Schedule of the Indian Constitution specifically deals with the administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in states other than Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. For context, the other options are incorrect because: The Third Schedule contains forms of Oaths or Affirmations. The Seventh Schedule deals with the division of powers between the Union and the States through the Union, State, and Concurrent Lists. The Ninth Schedule contains acts and regulations related to land reforms and the abolition of the Zamindari system that are protected from judicial review.
