Explanation

Answer: A - Population density refers to the number of people that live in an area of a particular size. Most measurements of population density are in square miles. This measure allows sociologists to see how closely people live together and how many people are using available resources. In densely populated cities such as Manhattan, pollution and low air quality are a major concern.
