three things are important for the formation and sustentation of a city. which of the below options is not one of them?

○ well constructed buildings

○ fresh water supply

○ consistent food supply

○ social stability

Explanation:

First Question (Top Question)

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• De - urbanization: Involves a population shift from urban to rural areas, not related to renovating less - affluent city areas and displacing the poor.
• Population growth: Is a general increase in population, not about class - based neighborhood changes.
• Gentrification: By definition, is the process where middle/upper - class people renovate less - affluent city areas, leading to price increases that force the poor to leave.
• Urbanization: Is the growth of cities as people move from rural to urban areas, not about class - based neighborhood transformation.

For city formation and sustenance:

• Fresh water supply: Essential for human survival and city functions.
• Consistent Food Supply: Needed to support the city's population.
• Social Stability: Important for the smooth running and growth of a city.
• Well - constructed buildings: While important for urban development, are not as fundamental as the other three for the basic formation and sustenance of a city (cities can form and be sustained with less - elaborate buildings, but not without water, food, and social stability).

Answer:

C. Gentrification
