b. it does little to no urban planning.

c. it patrols all areas of the rain forest.

d. it fines people who develop on protected land

The correct answers are:

B. It does little to no urban planning;

The rain forest in Brazil is in general not populated. The government of Brazil is not encouraging people to move in there, and in fact it is actually discouraging them, and the easiest way for that is that they do pretty much no urban planning for the region.

D. It fines people who develop on protected land;

Most of the rain forest is protected area, and when someone tries to develop a part of it, the government is very strict and fines those people, as well as destroying what they have built in the area.
