If a settlement is small but contains many craft workshops, how should its importance be assessed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: उसका आर्थिक महत्व उसके आकार से अधिक हो सकता है
The governing concept is functional interpretation of settlements: size alone does not measure importance. Numerous workshops indicate specialised production, skilled labour, and possible links with exchange networks, so the settlement may have had considerable economic importance despite its small area. Option C is correct because it connects archaeological function with significance. A and B ignore production evidence, while D is too definite because a capital requires political or administrative evidence.
