The statement that MOST accurately represents the settlement and geography of Japan is:

Japan relies heavily on food sources from the ocean due to the mountainous terrain making farming difficult.

This reflects the reality that much of Japan's land is mountainous, limiting arable land for farming, which leads to a reliance on marine resources for food. The other statements are either inaccurate or misleading regarding Japan's geography and trade dynamics.
