Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) Special disaster-mitigation measures

Explanation

The listed schedule includes poverty alleviation, cultural/educational/aesthetic aspects, and cattle pounds with prevention of cruelty to animals. The specifically worded special disaster-mitigation item is not one of its 18 entries. Thus C; this does not imply that municipalities have no disaster-related responsibilities under other laws.
