Question

population distribution of the united states (2011) according to this map, which states have a population of over 25 million residents? check all florida (fl) new york (ny) california (ca) arizona (az)

Explanation:

To determine which states have over 25 million residents, we analyze the map's color coding (assuming the darkest/“Anchovy” color represents the highest population category). California (CA) and Texas (though not an option here) are known for high populations, and from the options, California (CA) is in the highest population category on the map. Florida (FL) and New York (NY) are in lower population categories (e.g., “Sardine” or “Herring”), and Arizona (AZ) is even lower. So California (CA) is the correct choice.

Answer:

C. California (CA)
