Explanation:

• Option A: The map shows cities along the Mississippi River (a river, not mountains), so A is false.
• Option B: The map’s cities (Minneapolis, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans) are in the South? No, Minneapolis is in the North. Also, the largest US cities (like NYC, LA) aren’t shown here, so B is false.
• Option C: The map shows states along the Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico, not the Atlantic. Most US states don’t border the Atlantic, so C is false.
• Option D: The map has cities (Minneapolis, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans) along the Mississippi River (a major river). So major cities tend to develop along major rivers, making D true.

Answer:

D. Major cities tend to develop along major rivers
