The correct answer is B) It only applies to cities that grew after the development of the automobile.

The statement that is NOT a criticism of the concentric zone model is "It only applies to cities that grew after the development of the automobile."

In 1925, sociologist Ernest Burgess created the Concentric Zone Model to identify and explain urban social structures. He studied the case of the city of Chicago Illinois and developed a model of concentric rings. In the middle was the city's business center, then a factory zone followed by a transition zone. Then, a working zone, followed by a residential zone, and the last ring was a commuter zone.
