Explanation:

First Question:

To determine the dominant physical feature along Mexico's western coast, we analyze each option: The Mexican Plateau is central, Sierra Madre Oriental is eastern, Yucatan Peninsula is southeastern. Sierra Madre Occidental runs along the western coast.

Mexico's large cities in Mesa Central (central plateau) are influenced by factors like climate and soil. Tropical rainforests are not in the plateau, arid desert proximity is not a draw, and deep - sea ports are not a feature of the central plateau. The plateau has a moderate climate and fertile soil at high elevation, which supports urban concentration.

Mexico's colonial history involved Spanish colonization. Portuguese is dominant in Brazil, English is not the main language, and French has minimal presence. Spanish is the most widely spoken language in Mexico due to Spanish colonial influence.

Answer:

C. Sierra Madre Occidental
