Which type of rural settlement is mostly found in hilly tracts, thick forests and regions of extreme climate?
Answer: C
Such regions have scattered settlements.
In hilly tracts, thick forests and areas of extreme climate, flat cultivable land, water and other resources occur only in small patches, so houses are built far apart wherever a family can make a living. These spread-out dwellings form a scattered (dispersed) settlement.
The other types need different conditions. Compact or nucleated settlements, the same idea under two names, grow where houses cluster closely together, typically on fertile plains with plentiful water. Linear settlements stretch along a road, a river, a railway or a coast.
