Question

Which one of the following is not a characteristic of urban society?

• A. Mobility
• B. Industrialization
• C. Primary Relation
• D. Agriculture

Hint:

Cities run on industry and trade, not on farming the land.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Recall the rural versus urban contrast.
Sociology usually contrasts rural life (farming, close personal ties) with urban life (industry, trade, more impersonal ties).

Step 2: Sort the four options into this contrast.
Mobility, industrialization and even a reduced form of primary relation are all part of how cities function, but agriculture belongs firmly on the rural side of this contrast.

Step 3: Confirm the odd one out.
Since a city's economy runs on industry and services rather than crop farming, agriculture stands out as the feature that does not belong to urban society.

Final Answer:
Option (D), Agriculture, is correct.
