Options:

Site

Plain

Shelter 

Correct Answer:

Site

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - Site

The term "site" refers to the specific location where a settlement is established or developed. When people decide to establish a new settlement, they carefully select a site based on various factors such as geographical features, access to resources, availability of water, climate, defense potential, and proximity to transportation routes.

The selection of a suitable site is crucial for the success and sustainability of a settlement. A well-chosen site can provide several advantages, such as fertile land for agriculture, access to freshwater sources for drinking and irrigation, natural defenses against potential threats, and proximity to trade routes for economic opportunities.

Once a site is chosen, the process of settlement development begins, including the construction of shelters, infrastructure, and other necessary facilities to support human habitation. Over time, as the settlement grows and evolves, additional structures and amenities may be added to meet the needs of the population.
