Which characteristic distinguishes the urban land-use model shown below from the sector model and the multiple-nuclei model?
ALand-use zones form complete concentric rings that surround a single central business district
BLand uses radiate outward from the center in wedge-shaped sectors that follow major transportation routes
CThe city grows around several separate, independent activity centers instead of one central core
DLand use is arranged around whichever activity center offers the cheapest rent at a given time
Explanation
This is the concentric-ring (Burgess) model — every zone forms a complete ring fully surrounding the CBD. The sector model instead has wedge-shaped zones following transport routes, and the multiple-nuclei model has several independent centers rather than rings around one core; neither of those patterns is what the diagram shows.
