The author concludes that we needed to come up with new ways to measure the value of land when the uses to which the land was put became more diverse. As an example, if land is used for farming, then the time it takes to plow the land is relevant to the land’s value. But if the land is used for apartments, plow time isn’t useful.

The conclusion is the author’s assessment of the need for a change in measurement of land value: “[I]t became necessary to adopt new measures of land ... when land uses diversified.”

The conclusion doesn’t assert anything about the ease or difficulty of measuring land value. It merely states that there was a need for new measures of land value.

This may be strongly supported by the argument, but it’s not the conclusion. The conclusion concerns how new measures are necessary. It’s not about the accuracy of particular measurements of land value.

This relates only to the context in the first two sentences. The author’s conclusion concerns the necessity of adopting new measures of value.

This doesn’t capture the author’s claim in the conclusion that new measures were “necessary.” The author wasn’t just saying that modern measures were adopted after plowing-time became inadequate. He was also asserting that we were required to adopt new methods.

This paraphrases the conclusion. The “advent of diversified land uses” matches with “when land uses diversified,” and “made new measures of land necessary” matches with “it became necessary to adopt new measures of land.”
