Explanation:

Part A

The map is titled "Dairy Farms in the United States", so a type of data it can show is the number of dairy farms (or density of dairy farms) in different regions/states of the US. This is a common type of data for such agricultural - related maps, as it helps to visualize the distribution of dairy farming operations.

From agricultural knowledge and typical distribution of dairy farms in the US, most dairy farms are located in the Northeastern United States (including states like Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania, etc.) or the Upper Midwest region. This region has suitable climate, access to feed resources, and a market for dairy products, which supports a high concentration of dairy farming.

One type of data shown on the map is the number (or density) of dairy farms in different regions of the United States.
