Solution

The correct option is B These parts are located in the Amazon basin.
Most of the western areas and central parts of Brazil fall under the Amazon basin. Unfavourable climate, heavy rainfall, lack of accessibility due to the dense forests are the reasons why the areas of Amazon basin are sparsely populated.
