B is wrong because the usage of the word 'increase' instead of 'larger'. The word change totally changes the meaning.



How is "increases" different from "gets larger"?

A for me. Increasingly(ad.) correctly modifies becomes(V.). "gets larger" is better as it is used as an adjective and not a verb(increase). space is not increasing relative to what it used to be, it is getting large day in and day out. "Larger space" comparative to what it used to be.
