Which of the following does not tend to increase a city’s size, influence, and importance? a. the city contains cultural opportunities, such as universities, museums, and sports teams. b. the city is home to political institutions. c. the city has few higher-order services. d. the city has economic institutions, such as banking, deep-water ports, and manufacturing facilities.

Go with C. Hope this helps. :-)
