They show less creative design.
-
They have less space.
-
They are located in less convenient places.
-
They have less flexibility of use.

(A) is incorrect. Choice A says "They show less creative design.", but the supporting evidence for the correct answers is "Many stadiums from this period were placed in suburban areas, built only for sport and surrounded by parking.
