B
Correct answer
Explanation
Two-thirds of India's urban population lives in Class I cities (population 100,000 or more). Class I cities dominate the urban landscape, containing the majority of urban residents due to urban agglomeration and migration. This reflects the primacy of metropolitan areas and large urban centers in India's urbanization pattern. The concentration is so high that it accounts for about 65-70% of total urban population, making 'Two-third' the correct answer.
