Urban gardening is gaining momentum as city dwellers seek to reconnect with nature and grow their own food. Rooftop gardens, balcony planters, and community plots are becoming common features in urban landscapes. These green spaces not only provide fresh produce but also contribute to biodiversity, improve air quality, and offer a sense of community among participants. Innovative practices such as vertical farming and hydroponics are making it possible to cultivate a wide variety of plants in limited spaces. Urban gardening is a sustainable trend that addresses food security, environmental health, and social well-being.

Option 4: "Improving air quality and supporting biodiversity"

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the text's emphasis on the benefits of urban gardening. It states that these green spaces contribute to biodiversity and improve air quality, aligning perfectly with the main ideas presented.

Option 1: "Generating income through plant sales"

Explanation: The text does not mention generating income as a benefit of urban gardening. Instead, it focuses on aspects like improving air quality and biodiversity. Therefore, this option is not supported by the text.

Option 2: "Reducing the need for physical exercise"

Explanation: This option contradicts the text, which does not discuss physical exercise at all. Urban gardening is presented as a way to reconnect with nature and grow food, not as a means to reduce exercise.

Option 3: "Eliminating all forms of urban pollution"

Explanation: While the text mentions that urban gardening improves air quality, it does not claim that it eliminates all forms of urban pollution. This makes the statement too absolute and unsupported.
