1 answer

The correct answer is D. Temperate climates support agriculture.

Eurasia has a number of temperate regions that are highly suitable for agriculture, which has historically allowed for the development of large populations and complex societies. These climates provide the right mix of rainfall, growing seasons, and biodiversity that facilitate farming and livestock rearing, supporting higher population densities and contributing to the overall concentration of humanity in the region.
