• A. sparsely populated
• B. moderately populated
• C. aggressively populated
• D. densely populated

Answer 1

The correct option is A sparsely populated

The term 'sparse' means scattered, thus, sparsely populated means a small number of people living over an area. If the population density of a particular area remains less than 50 persons per sq. km than that area is said to be sparsely populated.

Regions of low density: Canada and Australia are large in area but have small populations. These countries have a low or sparse population density.
