Solution
Foot-loose industries are located where good accessibility by rail/road is available.
Explanation:
Footloose industries are not dependent on any particular raw material because they use component parts that can be found anywhere. Their position is primarily determined by accessibility, the ease with which these small, high-value components may be moved across transportation networks. Unlike heavy industries, they are non-polluting and focus on small-volume manufacturing, making road and rail links the most important necessity.
