Answer:

The Levittown New York is an example of (a). the assembly-line approach to producing affordable housing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Levittown, formerly Island Trees, is a hamlet and census-designated place in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, New York on Long Island. It is located half way between the villages of Hempstead and Farmingdale.

Levittown was designed to provide a large amount of housing at a time when there was a high demand for affordable family homes. This suburban development would become a symbol of the "American Dream" as it allowed thousands of families to become home owners.
