Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The Southwestern part of the U.S. is characterized by the presence of large mountains, canyons, plateaus, and some plain areas. These features are basically controlled by the continuous volcanic activity that is caused due to the sharing of a convergent boundary and transform boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.

The eruption of volcano often releases a significant amount of harmful gases and other particles such as ashes, lava. Pyroclastic materials also erupt. These materials erupted for a long time in the geological past, which were solidified and formed a huge mass of rocks. Due to this continuous eruption and deposition of materials from the past, it gradually leads to an increase in the elevation of the nearby area. This is how volcanic activities configures the land areas.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

The population density determines the number of species or members of particular population are present is a particular area.

An area of  low density population will have more resources and more area per organism and less competition for resources and vice versa for high density population.

Prairie dogs have 12 adults per hectare of area this tells the population density of the rodents.
