Explanation:

To determine why city council members would hire a geographer for skateboard park planning, we analyze each option:

• Predicting success with teens is not a geographer's core skill (geographers focus on spatial/ location - related aspects, not predicting popularity with a specific group).
• Geographers study population distribution, land use, and spatial patterns. Analyzing population data to find the best location (considering factors like where teens live, accessibility, etc.) is a key part of a geographer's work.
• Drawing conclusions about why the city needs the park is more about social/community analysis, not a geographer's primary role.

Answer:

The geographer can analyze population data to determine the best location for the skateboard park.
