Answer: its B

Explanation: just took the test

Answer 2

The correct response is Option B: The Hoyt model.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Hoyt model of urban growth, stress is placed on the transportation routes and how they impact spatial arrangement in urban centers. In the Hoyt model, a city developed more in sectors along major transportation routes than the concentric circles model that was proposed by Burgess. In the Hoyt model, it is also recognized that transport has a profound impact on what activities are carried out in certain sectors of the city. For example, low transportation costs can reduce the cost of production for industrial enterprises. Lower-income populations will seek to be close rather than far from their places of work. Higher-income will look for higher ground that allows for space and more exclusivity away from more transited parts of the city.
