Answer & Solution

Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option C: A is true but R is false

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “A is true but R is false”.
1) The Green Belt represents a planning concept for controlling the physical expansion of large cities. This statement is true.

2) Describing the Green Belt as an integral component of a city is not entirely accurate. The Green Belt is typically located outside urban areas and serves more as a buffer zone or planned area for conservation, recreation, or agricultural purposes rather than being an internal part of the city itself.
