Answer: C -The Amazon River has a considerably lower human population in its river delta due to the terrain around the river. The lush Amazon rainforest makes living along the river’s banks a challenge. Subsequently, most of Brazil’s residents live along the Atlantic coast on the opposite side of the country. The Ganges has over 400 residents per square kilometer; the Nile has over 1,000 residents per square kilometer and more in urban centers; the Yangtze has over 238 residents per square kilometer. In contrast, the Amazon delta has 3.3 residents per square kilometer.
