Electricity usage has been increasing steadily in Phoenix and this is the one among the following scenarios best reflects the effects of urban heat islands. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the last option or option "D". I hope it helps you.

Answer:

C.  Industrial pollution is increasing in Detroit.

Explanation:

  • Urban island concept is related to the pollution and the increase in the pressure and the sire of temperatures in the concrete clusters of buildings and these create a blocking effect that tends to put the natural flow of the gases and moisture content on hold.
  • The island is an impact of the continued rise in the frequent temperatures, like the rising of the temperature in the Detroit landscape.  
  • Caused by the asphalt and the sun's heat. Due to the peak energy demands and the rise of the population size as compared to the cool and calm rural areas with fewer population and fewer demands of energy.
