Which type of question asks for explanatory rather than only descriptive understanding of population distribution?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Where more people are and why they are there

A descriptive question about population distribution only identifies a location or pattern, such as where many people live. An explanatory question goes further: it asks for the reasons behind that pattern. Those reasons may include water supply, fertile land, level relief, pleasant climate, transport, industries, services, or employment. Good geographical reasoning connects the observed place with the physical and human factors that make people settle there.

Option A is correct because it asks both where more people are and why they are there. The other options ask about names, preferences, or quantities unrelated to explaining population distribution. A complete answer to such a question should therefore mention the location and support it with relevant causes. The important clue is the combination of “where” and “why,” not merely naming a place.
