This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Stemming from the urban overload hypothesis, consider what you would do in the following situation. You have just run over a nail with your car during a long road trip, but luckily you have run-flat tires and can drive up to fifty miles before your tire will deflate. Based on what you know from the urban overload hypothesis, where should you drive to if you were going to seek help from strangers for your tire?
A. the nearest major city
B. the nearest moderately sized city
C. a completely deserted road
D. a small, rural town
Answer: D. a small, rural town
Explanation:
The urban overload hypothesis, developed by Milgram, states that people living in big cities are continually exposed to so many stimuli from the city environment that it frequently grows to be too much for them to process it all properly, so it´s likely they will keep to themselves to avoid being overwhelmed.
According to this theory, the best chances of getting strangers to help us, are found in a small, rural town, rather than in a major city.
