Solution

The correct option is A 1 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct: Linear pattern is formed in settlements where houses are located along a road, railway line, river, canal, edge of a valley or along a levee.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Circular villages are generally built around lakes and tanks. Sometimes the village is planned in a way that the central part remains open to keep the domestic animals safe from wild animals. So such villages may also have a circular pattern of settlement.
