The population of Texas has grown substantially in the 2010's. The characteristic of land in Texas as "It is abundant and affordable" most likely makes it such an attractive place.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
By taking the increase in the population in the 2010's as a reference, Texas offers cheaper land rates compared to states like California and New York, followed by a comparatively less ratio between land and people.
Meanwhile oil and gas reserves are already owned by private parties or by the government in Texas. The state also has a hotter climate which is usually more than its average, along with a not so suitable land for agriculture, thus ruling out the other options.
