Lead - Zinc towns were more overcrowded and less organized (A)

Explanation:

The Indian territory's coal towns were more organized when compared to Lead - Zinc towns because they coal towns were not a very attractive place for immigrants hence they had lesser populations and the lesser the population a town has the less likely for it to be disorganized.

The Lead - Zinc towns were larger and attracted alot of immigrants because of the lucrative nature of Lead and Zinc then. and this made the towns overcrowded and less organized when compared to the coal towns in the Indian territory
