If an area is rich in water and minerals but has very weak transport what will be the effect on population concentration?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Resource use and settlement growth may remain limited

The direct answer is C: resource use and settlement growth may remain limited. Water and minerals can attract people and industries, but resources alone do not guarantee dense population. People also need roads, railways, transport services, markets, schools, hospitals and regular contact with other places. Step by step, the area has useful resources; weak transport makes carrying people, machines and products difficult; industries may grow slowly; jobs and services may remain limited; therefore settlement may develop slowly or unevenly. Option A is wrong because a resource-rich area cannot immediately become larger in population than an entire country. Option B is wrong because weak transport does not make density always zero; some people may still live there. Option C is correct because poor connectivity can restrict resource use and settlement growth. Option D is wrong because transport strongly affects access, trade, employment and settlement. Memory cue: resources attract people, but access helps people stay and settlements grow.
