Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

Availability of water

The climate and topography of a region influences the population density of a region. Higher population is observed in the fertile plains as it is easy to cultivate crops. Mountainous regions and deserts usually have fewer people residing in them due to the extreme climatic conditions and semi or non-arable land present there.
