A1 and 2 only

B2 and 3 only

C2 and 4 only ✓ Correct

D3 and 4 only

Correct answer: (C) 2 and 4 only

Explanation

Conflict and clashes in groups and aggression and threats in collective behaviour point to negative social features of the environment.

Statement 2 is right because group conflict and clashes are social interactions, not physical surroundings.

Statement 4 is right since collective aggression and threats are patterns of social behaviour.

Statement 1 is wrong because habitats in slums describe the physical living environment, not a social feature.

Statement 3 refers to frustration and anxiety, which are psychological states rather than the social conflict emphasised here.

A crowded or degraded environment can heighten such social tensions among its inhabitants.
