To provide a precise answer, I would need a list of the options you're considering regarding factors that affect population distribution. However, common factors that influence population distribution include:
- Climate - Areas with favorable climates tend to attract more people.
- Geography - Availability of resources, landforms, and proximity to water bodies are important.
- Economic opportunities - Employment and economic activities attract populations.
- Political stability - Regions with stable governments and good quality of life tend to have denser populations.
If you can provide the specific options you're evaluating, I can help identify which one is NOT a factor affecting population distribution.
