Answer:

B. Workers were able to live farther from their jobs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The suburbs already existed before cars, but they were always concentrated around the public transport terminals (train, tram or bus) that gave them access. It is because of the current road model and the explosion of the auto industry that the suburb way of life has been growing wildly.
