Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) P organic; R linear; (C) Q gridiron; S radial

Explanation

P has irregular incrementally formed streets characteristic of an organic pattern. Q has an orthogonal gridiron layout. R extends along a linear spine, while S radiates from a centre. Thus A, C. B mislabels the grid, and D confuses both Q and R.
