Answer :

Combating the overuse of asphalt and concrete surfaces is the best strategy that would help a city combat a growing urban heat island.

The answer is:  D. combat the overuse of asphalt and concrete surfaces

Urban heat island refers to a situation when a certain area had a significantly higher temperature compared to its surrounding due to human activities.

When used as components of roads or buildings Asphalt tend to absorb heats that created by the suns. This will increase the average temperature of the environment around it. Combating the overuse of asphalt would reduce the stored heat and resulted in the reduction of temperature.
