The correct option is B. Urban sprawl refers to the migration of a population from populated towns and cities to low density population areas. Urban sprawl is a form of urban growth; it is an uncordinated growth that does not consider the negative consequences it may have on the environment.

Answer:

Option B is correct.

b. extending outward is more economical than extending upward

Step-by-step explanation:

people tend to move from rural areas to urban for the greater facilities that they can enjoy at cities. This urban sprawl is also very economic because people will get more chances of jobs, business and work hence improving the economy.
