The correct answer is: b.) Social equity decreased, and poverty became concentrated in urban centers. Explanation: Urban sprawl refers to the uncontrolled expansion of urban areas into surrounding rural lands, leading to various consequences. One significant consequence is the decrease in social equity and the concentration of poverty in urban centers. As cities spread outwards with urban sprawl, certain neighborhoods may experience declining property values, reduced access to resources and services, and social segregation, which can contribute to increased poverty rates and a lack of equitable opportunities for all residents.
