Answer:

The correct answer is A. It has a large population spread out over a large area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suburban sprawl means the expansion of urban territories into less urbanized areas, such as suburbs and rural areas, resulting from growing population. Unlike planned suburbanization, it is an uncontrolled process, resulting from the demand for new construction and development practices that harm the natural environment. It is accompanied by deindustrialization and degradation of urban centers.
