The right option is; D. The amount of land available for growing crops decreases.

Urban development involves converting an area to an urban state in different dimensions such as physical, geographical, economic, and societal through population, and land use change. The conversion of farmland to urban development has many effects in terms of food security, reduced agricultural productivity, and agricultural labors. Urban development reduces the amount of land available for growing crops, and can increase food costs in the affected area.
