B) He brought the Braves to Atlanta from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Answer 1

Tripled in size from 37 to 128

Answer 2

Answer: C) The city tripled in size from 37 mi2 to 128 mi2.

This is the answer that best supports the claim that William B. Hartfield oversaw the greatest expansion in the history of Atlanta. In order for us to get an accurate idea of what the expansion was like, we need to have information about Atlanta before the expansion and after. This is the only example that provides information on both of these time periods.
