Which option gives the correct reason for urban sprawl due to population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Housing and land demand spreads beyond the city boundary

Direct answer: A. Urban sprawl means the outward expansion of built-up areas from a city into surrounding land. When population grows, more people need houses, roads, schools, shops and workplaces. If land inside the city is limited or costly, construction may spread into nearby rural or suburban areas. This changes land use and can create a wider, less compact settlement pattern. B is wrong because population growth normally increases, not eliminates, demand for land. C is wrong because housing demand is a major driver of expansion. D is wrong because migration into a city usually adds residents rather than immediately emptying it. Memory cue: more people plus limited inner-city space often means outward growth.
