Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "Increased construction of skyscrapers" relates to urban (city - center) development, not suburbs.
• "The expansion of farm acreage" is about rural agricultural land, not suburban growth.
• "The increase in immigrant population" mainly impacted urban areas (like ethnic neighborhoods in cities) rather than suburban expansion.
