All of the above. Haiti is located near a major fault zone, half of its population at the time lived in densely populated urban areas; their weak government, which is a remnant of colonial impact, is very poor for the same reason and therefore did not have buildings up to code regarding earthquakes.

Not sure about poor soil but it probably didn't help if that is true. Islands aren't exactly famous for a lot of quality soil (large amount of sand which is unstable).

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

The Haitian earthquake was a very catastrophic one because the North American plate and Caribbean plate shares a transform type of plate boundary and this place is directly above the fault line.

In a transform plate motion, two plates slide past each other. These plates neither create nor destroys the crust. But it results in the occurrence of shallow-focus earthquakes, that is very catastrophic in nature.

Due to its location over a fault line, a magnitude earthquake occurred in the region of Haiti, thereby causing a lot of damage.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
