Read the following text and mark the best choice

In some coastal countries where there is not enough land for an increasing population, living space canexpand into the sea. For example, the land area of Hong Kong is small, but the population islarge.Therefore, many of the city's poor are unable to find affordable homes in the city itself. They live inboats that are tied closely to each other by the shore. Such floating towns have given new ideas to anumber of architects from different countries. These architects are working on several futuristic designsfor oceanic cities. One of these designs, by Eckhard Schulze-Fielitz, is a huge city called 'New Venice'. Itwill be built on floating containers. The idea of floating cities has attracted special attention in Japan,which has an enormous population density. Like Schulze-Fielitz, the Japanese architect KiyonoriKikutake has also suggested floating containers in his design of a town called 'Unabara' (Ocean).Another Japanese architect, Hidezo Kobayashi, has proposed building a city in a bay which will extendan existing city from the shore into the ocean. It will use both structures that float and structures that are

securely tied to the bottom. Boats will pass over and around this city, and waves and tides will provide itsenergy. Kobayashi's city will also be a base for taking out mineral deposits that lie on the ocean floor.
