In what way is reforestation a positive initiative? a. it saves a portion of land from urban sprawl. b. it replants trees on lands destroyed by farming, manufacturing, logging, and city growth. c. it promotes increased public transportation use and limits carbon emissions. d. it improves the city by planning for disasters.

The correct answer is B.

Reforestation is a positive initiative that deals with the negative externalities derived from the industrial model of production and urbanization, and also from the new capital-intensive approach in agricultural methods. An externality is a consequence derived from a production process that is beared by an external third party. In this case, deforestation caused by business activities harms the society as a whole. Reforestation counteracts such negative process.
