Explanation:

Step1: Calculate people per square mile for Town A

To find people per square mile, we use the formula $\text{People per square mile} = \frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Square Miles}}$. For Town A, population is 29,000 and square miles is 38. So, $\frac{29000}{38} \approx 763.16$.

Step2: Calculate for Town B

For Town B, population is 31,500 and square miles is 42. So, $\frac{31500}{42} = 750$.

Step3: Calculate for Town C

For Town C, population is 19,200 and square miles is 25. So, $\frac{19200}{25} = 768$.

Step4: Calculate for Town D

For Town D, population is 39,000 and square miles is 54. So, $\frac{39000}{54} \approx 722.22$.

Step5: Compare the values

Now we compare the values: 768 (Town C) > 763.16 (Town A) > 750 (Town B) > 722.22 (Town D).

Answer:

C. Town C
