What may differences in settlement size indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Different economic and administrative roles
Variation in settlement size can reveal a hierarchy of places and differences in their functions. Larger centres may have supported administration, specialised craft production, exchange or storage, whereas smaller settlements may have focused on farming, herding or collecting local resources. Option A is correct because size can reflect different economic and administrative roles. The other options deny the functional variation that settlement evidence suggests.
