M. N. Srinivas
B.
K. M. Kapadia
C.

D.

Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
The concept of "urban fringe" was first introduced by T.L. Smith in 1937 to denote "the built-up area just outside the corporate limits of the city" (Pryor, 1968). Therefore, neither M. N. Srinivas, K. M. Kapadia, nor S. C. Dube introduced the concept of urban fringe.
