The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Statement I: Land use and building regulations are the basic means by which a plan is implemented. Without them, plots could be used in any manner and the plan would fail. So Statement I is true.
Statement II: Development controls are framed under town planning acts and building bye-laws, so they are statutory, and the authority can penalise violators (fines, demolition, sealing). So Statement II is true.
Both statements are true.
Answer: (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
