Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the types of settlements.
- Square and rectangular settlements are formed when roads or streets cut each other at right angles, creating block patterns.
- Circular settlements usually develop around a lake, tank, or temple.
- Linear settlements develop along a road, river, canal, or railway line.

Step 2: Apply to the question.
- Since the settlements are mentioned as developing along a road, the pattern formed is linear.
\[ \boxed{\text{Human settlements along roads are Linear settlements.}} \]
