Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) This would prevent the transfer of land of tribal people to non-tribal people.
When an area is declared a Scheduled Area under the Fifth Schedule, the Governor may make regulations restricting or prohibiting the transfer of tribal land to non-tribals, thereby safeguarding tribal land rights; this is the key immediate consequence envisioned by the Schedule. It does not automatically create autonomous councils (Sixth Schedule), convert the area into a Union Territory, or confer Special Category State status.
