The correct choice is: "The act gave greater representation to people in cities."
Brief explanation: The 1832 Reform Act abolished many "rotten boroughs" (tiny rural constituencies), redistributed seats to growing industrial towns and cities, and expanded the male electorate (mainly middle-class men). It did not enfranchise women, and it reduced—rather than increased—the overrepresentation of wealthy landowners.
