The correct answer is **Silicon Valley**.
Silicon Valley is considered a functional region because it is defined by a specific economic activity and is characterized by a network of technological companies, startups, and other related services that operate within a cohesive geographical area. The other options—Middle East, China, and Latin America—are more likely to be classified as formal regions based on political or physical boundaries rather than functional interconnections.
