Question

1. which of the following is not a factor that can influence population distribution? a) natural features. b) economic growth. c) political instability or conflict.

Explanation:

• Natural features (like mountains, rivers, climate) affect where people live (e.g., people avoid deserts or floodplains).
• Political instability/conflict (e.g., wars) force people to migrate, changing population distribution.
• Economic growth is about a region's economic development over time, not a direct factor in where people are distributed (unlike job availability, which is related to economic activity but growth itself isn't a distribution - influencing factor in the same way as the others).

Answer:

B. Economic growth
