Marrakech has high pedestrian traffic, but simply replicating a feature of Marrakech associated with walkability—e.g., its highly varied streetscape—may be insufficient to induce increased walking in other cities. As urbanist Mariela Alfonzo argues, our understanding of individuals' decision-making about whether to walk is insufficiently robust: some studies emphasize the role of demographic characteristics, others the role of public transit availability, and so on, but walking decisions are made in complex contexts in which multiple conditions and needs inform individuals' choices.
Based on the text, Alfonzo would most likely agree with which statement about studies of decision-making about walking?
They would be improved by efforts to identify the features that cities with high pedestrian traffic have in common.

B
They have overstated the extent to which people differ in their decision-making processes regarding walking.
C
They tend to be misleading because they ignore the most important factor influencing walking decisions.
D
