clear all

Explanation:

To determine the economic reason for the population center shift, we analyze the options: Air conditioning is more about comfort, invasion is non - economic, larger urban centers relate to urbanization but the highlighted area in the map (likely the Great Plains region) has a strong connection to farming. The expansion of agricultural activities (farming) in regions like the Great Plains would attract people for agricultural jobs, thus shifting the population center. So the economic reason is farming.

Answer:

Farming
