_______ have a number of doctors, hospitals, dispensaries, etc.. 

The Indian rural lag behind the cities in one of the most important disciplines. There are numerous physicians, medical facilities, dispensaries, pathology labs, diagnostic centers, medicinal stores, etc. in cities. There are two to three public hospitals in certain large cities with a suitable population. Unfortunately, things are different in the villages. Every hamlet, no matter how tiny, must have a Primary Health Center (PHC) with at least one doctor, according to the Indian government. However, the medical resources offered in a PHC cannot be compared to those of any big hospital. Cities' hospitals have instant access to facilities where any type of test may be performed if necessary, making them more suited to handle emergencies. Therefore, option C is the right answer.
