Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

The Explanation to BNSS section 1 defines "tribal areas" as the territories which immediately before 21 January 1972 were included in the tribal areas of Assam referred to in paragraph 20 of the Sixth Schedule, "other than those within the local limits of the municipality of Shillong". The Shillong municipal area is excluded, and the Fifth Schedule deals with scheduled areas, not these tribal areas.
