Assertion (A) : In Central Place Theory, 'hexagonal region' is considered as the optimum for functional linkages.
Reason (R) : Transport connectively is important for maintaining inter-settlement linkages.
Codes :
Answer: B
Both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct interpretation of the assertion, as in the key. A hexagonal region is the best shape in central place theory because it leaves no gaps or overlaps and is closest to a circle, which gives the least distance to travel.
Transport connectivity matters for linkages between settlements but does not explain the choice of the hexagon, which is a geometric one, so the reason is not the explanation.
