Question

which statement best answers the supporting question \what is one explanation for the population distribution of cambodia in 2019?\
a most people live in rural areas because of all the factories there.
b more people are moving to urban areas because the cost of living is higher there.
c most people live in rural areas because of all the available services there.
d more people are moving to urban areas because of increasing opportunities there.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: States most people live in rural areas due to factories, but the graph likely shows urbanization (as the trend suggests population shift to urban, or if rural was majority, the explanation about factories in rural is less typical. Also, factories are more in urban for jobs, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Says people move to urban because cost of living is higher, but higher cost of living is a deterrent, not a reason to move, so B is illogical.
• Option C: Claims most live in rural due to services, but rural areas typically have fewer services than urban, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: States more people move to urban for increasing opportunities, which is a common and valid reason for urbanization (jobs, education, etc.). The graph (even partially visible) likely shows a trend of urban population growth or a need to explain population distribution, and urban opportunities are a key driver of urbanization.

Answer:

D. More people are moving to urban areas because of increasing opportunities there.
