If an area has low density and is important as a border area administratively, what is appropriate?

Correct answer: Providing connectivity, security and basic services

Correct answer: C, providing connectivity, security, and basic services. Low population density does not mean that an area has no people, no needs, or no administrative importance. Border areas may require reliable roads and communication, access to health and education, public administration, and appropriate security arrangements. Planning should consider both the number and distribution of residents and the area’s geographic and administrative role. A is wrong because sparse settlement is not a reason to abandon residents. B is wrong because people in the area remain part of the population and should be included in appropriate official enumeration. D is wrong because low density is not zero density; it means fewer people per unit area. C is therefore the balanced planning response. Memory cue: low population does not mean low importance—planning follows need and context, not density alone.
