• C. These houses are mostly illegal.
• D. All of these

The correct option is C These houses are mostly illegal.

The houses in slums are semi-structured and temporary. They are made without the government's approval. This is one of the reasons why they do not get basic facilities like drinking water or proper sanitation facilities.
