The correct response is:

a formal region is established by administrative forces or physical characteristics, and a vernacular region has no formal boundaries (ex. the South and Midwest).

To elaborate:

• Formal Region: Defined by official boundaries and often based on measurable criteria such as governmental jurisdiction, physical geography, or statistical data (e.g., states, countries, climate zones).
• Vernacular Region: Informally defined by people's perceptions, culture, or identity, and does not have precise boundaries (e.g., the South, the Midwest).
