Answer
B. less; undeveloped
Explanation
The denser the population in cities, the less populated or "undeveloped" the areas outside cities usually are. This is due to the significant migration of people from less developed places to more affluent, productive, and well-established cities; resulting in the urbanization we witness. This process leaves more sparse populations or 'undeveloped' societies outside urban areas. Remembering that "undeveloped" per se, could refer to smaller settlements, villages, rural expanses or places where economic activity and residents are sparse.The implication of "development" in this case tends to lean more towards economic development alongside population density. Regardless, there might also be vast developed (senso stricto infrastructure and economic prowess) territories outside the city proper but yet these may also experience lowers population density compared to the city proper. Hence based on this deduction, we can rule out the options 'more; developed' and 'less; developed'; because the population would not be tighter in these areas than it is in cities despite having proper infrastructures and economic advancements alike.We end at this deduction, that relatively, the places outside cities are less populous, hence comparably "undeveloped."
