Which is a small settlement usually characterized by a single economic activity ?
Answer: A
A small settlement usually characterised by a single economic activity is a hamlet.
A hamlet is the smallest unit of rural settlement: a small cluster of houses, often an offshoot of a larger village, whose people follow one main occupation, usually farming, herding or fishing. It has few or no services of its own.
A village is larger and supports several functions and services. A rurban centre combines rural and urban functions, and an urban fringe village lies at the edge of a city and is shaped by mixed urban and rural activities. None of these is defined by a single economic activity.
