Options:

There are villages in which a sizeable number of people have sought employment in far-off cities 

Some villages have been totally uprooted

It does not stimulates a demand for houses and a market inside the village 

It creates problem of ordering relationships between the native residents and the immigrants

Correct Answer:

It does not stimulates a demand for houses and a market inside the village 

Explanation:

Firstly, there are villages in which a sizeable number of people have sought employment in far-off cities. They live there leaving behind the members of their families in their natal villages. The second kind of urban impact is to be seen in villages which are situated near an industrial town. When an industrial town like Bhilai comes up in the midst of villages, some villages are totally uprooted while the lands of others are partially acquired. The latter are found to receive an influx of immigrant workers, which not only stimulates a demand for houses and a market inside the village but creates problems of ordering relationships between the native residents and the immigrants.
