c. zoning regulations, which help manage how land is used in cities
d. gis, which is used to analyze and visualize spatial data

Explanation:

First Question (Gentrification)

Gentrification involves the renovation of urban neighborhoods, leading to rising property values. This often displaces lower - income residents who can no longer afford the area. Option a is about public transit expansion to suburbs, not related to gentrification's direct result. Option b: gentrification in industrial areas usually increases residential density as areas are repurposed, not reduce it. Option d: gentrification is urban, not rural mixed - use developments. So the correct option is c.

GIS (Geographic Information System) is used to analyze and visualize spatial data like population density and transportation networks. Greenbelts (a) preserve landscapes, not analyze data. Brownfields (b) are for repurposing, not analysis. Zoning regulations (c) manage land use, not analyze population density and transport networks. So the correct option is d.

Answer:

c. The displacement of lower - income residents due to rising property values
