    One of the major negative factors from urbanization is A. impervious surface, creating more runoff and less fresh water infiltration.

    Runoff refers to the draining of water, which happens more and more as societies progress and advance, and as new towns and cities are created as a result of urbanization. Also, there will be less and less fresh water, which is why urbanization needs to be controlled.
