a urban beautification projects
b industrial growth and expansion
c improving housing and sanitation for the poor
d restricting immigration to limit poverty

Explanation:

Riis describes the poor living conditions in tenements (dark hallways, foul air, broken stairways). This directly relates to the need for better housing and sanitation for the poor. Urban beautification (A) focuses more on aesthetics of cities, not living conditions. Industrial growth (B) is about factories and production, not housing. Restricting immigration (D) is about limiting people entering a country, not improving existing living spaces.

Answer:

C. Improving housing and sanitation for the poor
