The reason that best explains why certain areas of southwest Asia have low population density is:

**The semi-arid climate makes farming difficult because it produces very little rainfall.**

This lack of rainfall limits agricultural opportunities, which in turn affects the population density, as people tend to settle in areas where farming and other economic activities can be sustained.
