Final answer:
The correct answer is option b) 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question seems to be related to a game or a simulation where one needs certain units, referred to as E/I units here, to clear a hex (likely a hexagonal tile or territory) and then develop it. However, without specific context or reference to the game or simulation rules, it is not possible to provide a factual answer to how many E/I units it takes to clear a hex and build it into something new.
Nonetheless, if we consider the options provided as a multiple-choice question where 'E/I units' is a game term, and the increase factors are applied to some aspect of the game or simulation when new construction occurs, we might infer a change in value associated with the game mechanics. For example, if clearing a hex and building something new results in a change to a resource or power output, then saying it will increase by a factor implies a multiplication effect.
In such a hypothetical scenario, if option (b) '4' is correct, one could say that the outcome will increase by a factor of four when a new construction occurs after clearing the hex with the E/I units. This type of scenario is not uncommon in strategy games, which often involve managing resources and building structures.
