Answer
A
the size of a settlement and the services it can offer
B
the income per capita of a settlement and its cost of living
C
the size of a settlement and its income per capita
D
the income per capita of a settlement and its gross domestic product

Explanation

Walter Christaller’s central place theory explains how settlements are distributed and how they serve surrounding areas. Larger settlements generally offer a wider range of goods and services, while smaller settlements provide fewer services. Therefore, the most closely connected characteristics are a settlement’s size and the services it can offer.
