Solution

The correct option is C Maximum uneven distribution of population seen
The outstanding feature of the population of the continent is that it is most unevenly distributed. The highest densities occur along the coast of the Gulf of Guinea, in the lower valley of river Nile (Egypt), in the highlands of East Africa and Madagascar, along the northern coast and in the urban and mining areas of South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zaire. The lowest densities are found in the deserts of Sahara, Liberia and Algeria. The density of population is 15 persons per sq km.
