Hint: A village is a human settlement or community larger than a village but smaller than a city. The population usually ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand. Although the villages are often in rural areas. They have no suitable roads and no money to afford decent transportation.

Complete answer:
Let us analyze the given options:
Option A) A tractor is a vehicle specially designed to provide high traction (or torque) at low speeds to tow trailers or machines used in agriculture, mining or construction. In most cases, the term is used to describe agricultural vehicles that provide power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and initially) farming, but today there are many types of tasks. Farm tools can be towed behind the tractor or installed on the tractor, even if the farm tools are mechanized, the tractor can also be a power source. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option B) A bullock cart is a two-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicle drawn by cattle. It is a means of transportation that has been used in many parts of the world since ancient times. They are still in use today when modern vehicles are too expensive or the infrastructure is in their favour. Bull carts are specially used to transport goods and are towed by one or more cattle. The cart is connected to a group of cattle by a special chain on the yoke, but a rope can also be used to connect one or two animals. The driver and all other passengers sit in the front of the car, while the load is placed in the back. Traditionally, the goods are agricultural products and wood. Hence, this option is correct.

Option C) A horse-drawn cart is a mechanized device drawn by horses or their teams. These vehicles usually have two or four wheels and are used to transport passengers and/or loads. They were once common all over the world, but to a large extent, they have been replaced by cars and other forms of self-driving vehicles. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option D) This option is incorrect because one of the options given above is already correct. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: The use of horse-drawn carriages was first mentioned around 4400 BC. date. The oldest wooden wheel that can be used for transportation was found in southern Russia and dates back to 3325 ± 125 BC. date. There was the testimony of wheeled vehicles in the middle of the 4th century BC. Between the North Sea and Mesopotamia. The earliest vehicle is probably a bullock cart.
