(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

(A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

(A) Rectangular Pattern – (IV) Settlement found in Plain areas. Rectangular settlements usually develop in plains, where land division and road networks follow a rectangular grid.

(B) Circular Pattern – (III) Develop around lakes. Circular settlements often form around lakes, tanks, or central features, providing access to water from all directions.

(C) Double Village – (I) On both sides of a river with bridge or ferry. A double village develops on either side of a river, often connected by a bridge or ferry.

(D) Star like Pattern – (II) Where several roads converge. Star-shaped settlements develop where multiple roads converge, radiating out from a central point.
