Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Ample land available encourages developers to build more properties and expand urban areas, contributing to urban sprawl. Tax laws discouraging home ownership and zoning laws requiring small lots can also play a role, but to a lesser extent. High-cost gasoline may discourage commuting and long-distance travel but typically does not have a significant impact on overall urban sprawl patterns.
