The correct answer is: a) Rapidly increasing.
The urban population in Assam is rapidly increasing. The state’s urban population has grown at an average annual rate of 3.5% between 2001 and 2011, which is higher than the national average of 2.7%. This rapid growth is due to a number of factors, including the state’s economic growth, its relatively low cost of living, and its proximity to other major cities in India.
The state’s urban population is expected to continue to grow rapidly in the coming years. The United Nations estimates that the state’s urban population will reach 20 million by 2030. This rapid growth will pose a number of challenges for the state, including the need to provide adequate infrastructure and services to its growing urban population.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) is incorrect because the urban population in Assam is not gradually decreasing.
- Option c) is incorrect because the urban population in Assam is not stagnant.
- Option d) is incorrect because the urban population in Assam is not unstable.
