o
a. putting a parking garage on an unused lot inside a city
o
b. converting rural pastureland into a new shopping center
o
c. converting an old shopping mall into a community college
o
d. drawing an urban growth boundary around an area

ANSWER:

The correct option is A: Putting a "parking garage" on an unused lot inside a city.

EXPLANATION:

Infill takes place when a land or area not being used is put to use for public good. This does not mean that an area which is old is converted to a new area or is brought to use. The infill of an unused area by putting a parking garage simply brings the area under use. However, if the area or land was under cultivation or had an old building on it and was converted to a parking lot, it would not have been infill.
