The map's legend shows the darkest color (representing higher values) for the US and parts of Western Europe. High GDP is associated with strong economies. So the US and Western Europe have high GDPs, making their economies strong. The other options have contradictory logic (weak with high GDP or strong with low GDP).

Answer:

A. The US and Western Europe are strong because they have high GDPs.
