Correct answers: b and c.

- b: Yes — zoning can block or control developments that would negatively affect established residents (e.g., noisy industry next to homes).
- c: Yes — zoning commonly sets maximum building heights and other dimensional limits.

a is incorrect (zoning regulates where and how businesses operate, not simply preventing them). d is incorrect — zoning cannot lawfully be used to directly exclude people from living in a city (though some zoning policies can have exclusionary effects).
