Question

Most of Europe lies within 300 miles of a seacoast. However, some countries in Europe are landlocked. How might this have impacted human migration? 
some answers are:
A)A landlocked area hampers trade with other countries and therefore stifles the economy.
B)A landlocked area means that immigrants had to walk rather than swim to the “new land”.
C)A landlocked area means more land to farm so this would have made the area more attractive to settlers.
D)A landlocked area means there is more room for communities and cities so this would have facilitated urban growth.

Answer 1

A closeness to the coast is usually seen as a good thing: it's combined with good trade possibilities, which are beneficial to a country.

I think that the best answer is a) A landlocked area hampers trade with other countries and therefore stifles the economy.

it does mean more farming land, but this might not be more attractive than trade routes.
