The real meaning behind the euphemism "areas are depopulated" is "People are killed during a war," as stated in option B and explained below.

<h3>What is euphemism?</h3>

We call euphemism the figure of speech that says something in a way that sounds less bad than it really is. Suppose your break your leg playing football and someone asks you if it hurts. You reply, "Just a little," which is an euphemism, since your leg actually hurts a lot.

Therefore, to find the option that would be the real meaning of "areas are depopulated," we must find a statement that is quite bad:

  • We can eliminate option A because the meaning is the opposite of what we need.
  • Option B is the correct answer. It is really bad that people are dying, so using "depopulated" to say that would be an euphemism.
  • We can eliminate option C. Like the first option, this is the opposite of the meaning we need.
  • Option D has a similar meaning to "depopulate," but it is not a bad thing. There would be no euphemism here.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.
