The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

In the planning hierarchy the area covered reduces step by step.
A Regional Plan covers a whole region made up of many cities and villages, so it is the largest.
A Master Plan covers a single city or town and sits below the Regional Plan.
A Zonal (Development) Plan covers one zone or sector of the city, so it is smaller than the Master Plan.
A Layout Plan covers individual plots, roads and open spaces of a small locality and is the smallest.
Descending order of area: Regional Plan, Master Plan, Zonal Plan, Layout Plan.
Answer: (2) Regional Plan, Master Plan, Zonal Plan, Layout Plan.
