The Jupiter-like masses or hot Jupiters are gas giant exoplanets that are found outside the solar system.

Formerly, scientists used to rely on planetary formation theories which stated that the hot Jupiters are only found at a very large distance from the stars. Later, the discovery of hot-Jupiters came as a surprise to astronomers because they are found so close to their stars.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Option four is the correct because areas such as Sahara have a low density and are not populated. The conditions of living are not allowing people in these type of areas to create some larger permanent settlements. The similar case is for example in Australia where 3/4 is covered with desert, which is practically uninhabited. Or we can also created a parallel with Greenland which also has a low density due to climate factor.
