The correct option is C S1: True; S2: False

Urban settlements can be classified based on population and functionality. A metropolis is a large city with a population of more than 10 lakh inhabitants. Mumbai is categorised as a megacity. Cities like Delhi, Gandhinagar and Srinagar can be referred to as administrative centres. Mumbai does not fall under the administrative category.
