Question

which conclusion is best supported by the information shown on the map?
a livestock raising only occurs in the southern united states.
b commercial fishing only occurs in large bodies of water.
c there are no resources found along the u.s.-mexican border.
d people only live in areas where a variety of resources are available.

Explanation:

• Option A is incorrect: The map shows livestock raising (orange/red areas) in the western U.S. too, not only the South.
• Option B is correct: Commercial fishing symbols are near large bodies of water (Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico), aligning with the map.
• Option C is incorrect: The U.S.-Mexican border has resources like livestock raising and mining.
• Option D is incorrect: The map does not link human habitation to resource variety; it only shows land use/resources.

Answer:

B. Commercial fishing only occurs in large bodies of water.
