Although there are no options either context or references, we can comment on the following.
Here you are probably talking about the Three-fifth Compromise, an agreement reached by the delegates that participated in the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to create the new Constitution of the United States.
Delegates from large and small states in the North and South reached an agreement during the works during the Convention. The proposal was made by delegate James Wilson.
Delegates agreed on the way slaves should be counted to determine the real population in the states. This was an important agreement because, in the end, this would the number of seats that each state would have in the lower chamber of Congress or the House of Representatives, and the number of taxes each state had to pay.
Finally, after many debates, the compromise was that they were going to count three-fifths of the state population of slaves toward the total population of the state. This allowed states from the South to have third more legislators in Congress and electoral because, in the beginning, slaves had been ignored.
The correct answer is - The region is dominated by desert and high elevations.
Most of the population of China is concentrated in the eastern half of the country, while the western half is very sparsely populated. The main reason for this is the geography and the climate of this part of China.
The western half of the country is dominated by high mountains, the highest in the world actually, the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, deserts and semi arid ares. All of these places are not suitable for living, especially not for larger populations, so there's towns and villages that far away from one another, and they have relatively small populations.
