ABuchanan's survey of South India became the basis for theories about the 'Indian Village Community'.

Correct answer: (C) W.H. Wiser opined that village servants and artisans were attached to the village. — The statement ascribed to W.H. Wiser is not correct, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The statement ascribed to W.H. Wiser is not correct, so that is the answer.
★The book treats this statement as the wrong one in relation to the village community.
★So this view is held to be incorrect among the four.
★The statements about Buchanan, Baden-Powell and Hiroshi Fukazawa are taken as correct.
★They describe the village community in their own ways.
★So the odd, incorrect statement is the one ascribed to W.H. Wiser.
