Question

a study of population distribution around the world today would show that most people-
a live in the western hemisphere
b live near fresh water supplies
c reside near large oil reserves
d live in mountainous areas

Explanation:

Fresh water is essential for human survival (drinking, agriculture, industry). Most global populations cluster near rivers, lakes, or groundwater sources. The Western Hemisphere holds less than half the world’s population; oil reserves are not universally tied to dense settlement; mountainous areas have harsh living conditions and low population density.

Answer:

B. live near fresh water supplies
