in which of the following areas is a large population most likely to drain the areas resources?
a
b
c
d
e

Explanation:

Typically, more - populated areas consume more resources. Areas near coastlines and plains with better infrastructure and economic activities often have larger populations. Without specific population data, we assume areas with more favorable conditions for settlement are at risk. Area B is on the eastern coast of South America which has major cities and economic activities, and a large population is more likely to be concentrated there, thus more likely to drain resources.

Answer:

B
