Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Urban centers consume a large majority of the world's resources, including energy, water, and food. While some cities may have struggles with access to education or poverty, these issues are not universal and do not accurately characterize all urban centers. The statement about parents in cities having more children than rural areas is also not accurate as birth rates in both areas have been trending towards lower numbers.
