Explanation:

• Option A is incorrect because airport growth would likely attract, not decrease, international businesses.
• Option B: Hartsfield - Jackson's growth made Georgia a hub for trade/transport (regional and international), which boosts economic development.
• Option C is wrong as airport expansion doesn't logically lead to reducing seaport investment; they serve different transport needs.
