Natural habitats such as forests and wetlands are increasingly being cleared to make room for the growing human population. As humans move into an area, they build roads, houses, and other buildings. The concrete, asphalt, and other materials from which these buildings and roads are made absorb and release heat much more quickly than Earth’s natural surface. This causes urban areas to be hotter than rural areas in the same region.

Which of the following would best minimize this negative impact of urbanization?
A.
Replace any exposed soil with waterproof concrete pavement.
B.
Paint the rooftops of commercial and residential buildings black.
C.
Increase the plant and tree cover near buildings and roads.
