The correct option is A Slums
A slum is typically a
heavily populated urban residential area consisting, for the most part, of
densely clustered, decrepit housing units in a degraded or inadequate
infrastructure situation, mostly occupied by poor people. While slums vary in
size and other characteristics, reliable sanitation services, clean water
sources, reliable electricity and other basic services are mostly lacking. Slum
households range from shanty houses to professionally designed dwellings that
have deteriorated due to poor-quality construction and/or lack of basic
maintenance.
The correct answer is A .
