- A District
- B Block/PHC ✓

- D Village
Correct answer: B. Block/PHC
Explanation
India's kala-azar elimination target is <1 case per 10,000 population at the block (PHC) level, not district level. This is a specific operational target under NVBDCP. Districts are classified as endemic or non-endemic based on block-level data, but the elimination benchmark is measured at block level.
