Based on the given descriptions of the climate zones in Australia:

- Arrow 1 points to the eastern coast, which is indicated as dark green (Marine west coast), typically suitable for agriculture due to the mild temperatures and ample rainfall.
- Arrow 2 points to the center of Australia, which is indicated as brown (Highlands), where agriculture is likely limited due to harsher conditions.
- Arrow 3 points near the west coast, which is yellow (Semi-arid), and while some agriculture can occur here, it may be limited due to lower rainfall.
- Arrow 4 points inland from the southwest coast, also yellow (Semi-arid), which would have similar limitations regarding agricultural feasibility.

Given that the eastern coast (Arrow 1) is classified as Marine west coast, which typically supports a lush environment conducive to agriculture, the best answer is:

**A. One (1)**
