The correct answer is D) 1, 2 and 3. All three factors – topography, population density, and location of terrorist camps (or potential threat locations) – are essential prior information for effective and safe foot patrolling.

Effective foot patrolling requires comprehensive intelligence about the patrol area to plan routes, assess risks, identify potential threats, and manage interactions with the environment and population.

Topography influences mobility, visibility, and potential cover/concealment. Population density helps in understanding the usual activity levels and identifying anomalies. Knowing the location of potential threats, such as terrorist camps or areas of known criminal activity, is crucial for planning patrol patterns, resource allocation, and ensuring officer safety.
