Answer 1

The most accurate statement about the development of agriculture in the different regions of Washington State is:

**a The eastern region is known for its large farms that grow wheat and raise sheep.**

Eastern Washington is characterized by its vast plains and dry climate, which are well-suited for large-scale agricultural operations, particularly wheat farming and sheep raising. The other statements either overgeneralize or misrepresent the agricultural focus of Washington State's regions.
