The correct answer is C. When available land is limited.
Upward growth of cities, also known as vertical growth, typically occurs when there is limited land available for expansion. In such cases, cities build taller buildings (like skyscrapers) to accommodate more people and businesses within the same footprint of land. This helps maximize space in urban areas where horizontal expansion is not feasible.
