The correct answer is  C )

Strip malls, big-box retail stores, malls, and drive-throughs have been developed to accommodate shoppers driving automobiles.      

Explanation:

Shops as it used to be have evolved. Suburban malls are evolving into regional mega malls which are situated by the road side or very busy locations.

Many of them have been modified to accommodate the increasingly busy nature of shoppers who just want to stop by, make a purchase and drive away with the least amount of time spent.

The demerit of this development is that older malls that have served communities for a long time are left to suffer as people gravitate to these new suburban centers.

To survive, older shopping malls must adapt or re-strategize by remodeling their facilities, if possible to meet the current trends.
