Solution

The correct option is D Urbanisation

Process of developing towns and making an area more urban is called urbanisation. Lot of people tend to settle in urban areas for good employment opportunities. Though urbanisation resulted in increased comfort and luxury of people, it also caused negative effects like congestion or crowding due to increased informal human settlement in urban areas, power blackouts etc.
