The pattern of rural settlement in Mizoram is

A) Linear Pattern
B) Rectangular Pattern
C) Square Pattern
D) Circular Pattern
In the context of rural geography, the pattern of settlement is largely determined by the physical terrain. Mizoram is characterized by a rugged, mountainous landscape with steep slopes and deep valleys. Because of this topography, houses and villages are typically constructed along the ridges of hills or alongside the few available roads and river valleys to maximize accessible flat land and ensure connectivity. When settlements develop in a long line following a geographical feature (like a ridge or a road), it is termed a 'Linear Pattern'. - Rectangular, Square, and Circular patterns are more common in plains or areas with organized land-use planning (like grid-iron patterns in cities or settlements around a central pond/village green), which are not characteristic of the natural hill-top or ridge-line settlements found in rural Mizoram.
