The correct option is C Circular pattern
In the circular type of settlement, houses are built in a circular formation around a central area. This type of settlement pattern is more commonly found around lakes and tanks. Ananya lives in a village where the focal or central area is the temple and its surroundings. So all the settlements in the village are built in a circular pattern around the temple.
