This question asks you to assign three Landsat-derived land cover classes (urban area, agricultural lands, and mountain range) to three labeled image sections A, B, and C. However, the prompt references Figure 1, which is not provided here, so the actual spectral or visual cues for A, B, and C are unknown.

To reason through this type of task in a real setting, you would compare the spectral characteristics and contextual clues of each region:
- Look for urban areas: typically bright with high reflectance in many Landsat bands, especially in visible and shortwave infrared, and without strong vegetation signatures. Urban textures are often more homogeneous and may show sharp edges where built-up areas meet roads or open land.
- Look for agricultural lands: usually exhibit seasonal variation in vegetation indices like NDVI. When crops are green and actively growing, NDVI values are higher; fields may show a mosaic of patterns corresponding to crop types, planting/harvest cycles, or irrigation. Agricultural zones often have intermediate reflectance compared with deep water, bare soil, or dense vegetation.
- Look for mountain ranges: these areas often display rugged topography, distinct shading due to slope orientation, and a mix of rock, snow, or bare ground. Spectrally, mountains can have lower NDVI (due to less vegetation) and higher variability in texture and elevation-related spectral responses. Snow or bare rock can also alter spectral signatures depending on season.

Because A, B, and C are not described, we cannot definitively assign them to the three classes. The appropriate approach would be:
- Inspect Figure 1 to note the visual cues for each labeled region (color, texture, pattern) and any accompanying legend.
- If available, examine the Landsat spectral bands (e.g., visible, NIR, SWIR) or derived indices (e.g., NDVI for vegetation, NDBI for built-up, slope/aspect or hillshade for terrain) for each region to confirm the class.
- Cross-check context: urban areas often border other built-up or road networks; agricultural lands show regular patches; mountain ranges show more irregular shapes and elevation changes.

Without Figure 1, any assignment would be speculative. If you can share the appearance or spectral/indices data for A, B, and C, I can help justify the classification for each region and explain why each choice corresponds to urban area, agricultural lands, or mountain range.
