Explanation
Answer - A - The best definition for the cultural landscape of a region is the way that humans affect the natural landscape of an area.

Key Takeaway: Cultural landscapes always focus upon the ways in which humans and nature meet. Cultural landscapes can be those that are fully shaped and designed by the inhabitants of a region, one in which the residents worked with the landscape to create a cultural center, or what is called an “associative cultural landscape,” where humans moved around the landscape to create their cultural center, usually due to religious respect for the environment.
