BHighway on-ramp constructed adjacent to the property✓ Correct
CNeighborhood shopping center opening nearby
DPublic park developed across the street

Explanation

A highway on-ramp adjacent to residential property creates negative externalities: noise, pollution, traffic, and safety concerns. This external obsolescence would decrease the property's appraised value. Schools, parks, and shopping centers generally have a positive impact on residential values in Minnesota.
