Explanation:

To determine the true statement about urbanization:

1. Analyze the first option: The global urban population is over 50%, so "less than 20%" is false.
2. Analyze the second option: MDCs (e.g., USA, Japan) have higher urbanization than LDCs (e.g., many African nations), so this is false.
3. Analyze the third option: Large cities like Mumbai (India, an LDC) exist, so this is false.
4. Analyze the fourth option: MDCs typically have advanced infrastructure and economic opportunities that drive higher urbanization rates compared to LDCs, making this true.

Answer:

The correct option is: More Developed Countries (MDCs) are more urbanized than Less Developed Countries (LDCs)
