Answer 1

The correct option is C) Water consumption rises because suburban communities use more water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Urban sprawl can be described as a wide growth of the urban areas without proper planning. When such a large population starts to live in an urban area then the water consumption would be more. Even the construction process to support the urban sprawl will require adequate amounts of water. Hence, option C is correct.

Other options like option D id false because the usage of more water will lead to an increase in water consumption. The water consumption will not drop.
