Explanation:

- The passage discusses the negative impacts of tourism on the environment and local culture.

- Sprawling: This option refers to spreading out over a large area in an uneven or uncontrolled manner. It's often used to describe uncontrolled urban growth.

- Scheming: This term indicates planning or plotting, typically in a deceitful way. It does not fit the context of building resorts.

- Spreading: This implies extending over a larger area or range but lacks the specific connotation of development and construction needed here.

- Stretching: This means to make something longer or wider, which doesn't quite capture the sense of development.

- The context requires a word that captures extensive and often careless expansion of resorts, fitting with environmental concerns.

Correct Answer: Option 1 - Sprawling
