Barnes · Answer 1

C. Activities like bulk wholesaling and storage can afford high-rent areas and thus locate wherever they choose.

Explanation:

According to the Multiple Nuclei Model of development, a city grows appropriately when it has multiple nuclei based on the activity or requirements of that area. According to the model, the similar type of activities should be placed together in the same locality. Like the bulk wholesaling and storage industry and businesses should be placed together and should be allotted a separate block or area. This means that option C stating activities like bulk wholesaling and storage can afford high-rent areas and thus locate wherever they choose cannot be true as per this model of development.
