ब. राहाणीमान उच्च दर्जाचे असते
क. लोकसंख्या मर्यादीत असते
ड. वसाहती प्रदूषण मुक्त असतात

वरीलपैकी कोणती विधाने बरोबर आहेत ते ओळखा.

The correct answer is Option C (Only a, c and d).

Key Points:
• Settlement Geography - Scattered / Dispersed Settlements (विखुरलेल्या वस्त्या):
• Characteristics of scattered settlements:
• Statement a: Discontinuity / physical distance between houses (घरांघरांमध्ये आंतर विलगता असते) due to hilly terrain, farmsteads (Wadis/Vasti), or dense forests. (Correct)
• Statement c: Limited population (लोकसंख्या मर्यादीत असते) because farmsteads accommodate only few farming households. (Correct)
• Statement d: Settlements are free from pollution (वसाहती प्रदूषण मुक्त असतात) due to abundant open natural space, lack of heavy traffic, and away from industrial zones. (Correct)
• Statement b: Standard of living is high (राहाणीमान उच्च दर्जाचे असते). (Incorrect - Dispersed settlements in remote hill or drought areas often lack modern infrastructure, healthcare, piped water, and electricity, and do not represent a high standard of living).
• Thus, statements a, c, and d are correct (Option 3).
• Key Takeaway: Dispersed/scattered rural settlements are characterized by spatial separation of houses, small populations, and pollution-free environments, but lack modern urban living standards.
