Agriculture can prove extremely difficult to maintain on a rocky mountain and with such poor infrastructure it is also difficult to import goods on a JIT (Just In Time) sort of basis where you receive these goods as you need them. Infrastructure also includes communication and other services and with such a technologically developed era we depend on technology and this can deter a lot of people from settling in these regions, additionally the wildlife in these regions consists greatly of predators which can be deemed a threat to habitants who are unprepared. The sheer abundance of wildlife and non industrial landscapes can also mean that people will not want to live in these regions

The correct answer is - c. east.

The Appalachian Mountains are located in the eastern part of the United States, and since the Rocky Mountains are in the western part of the country, it puts them east of the Rocky Mountains.

The Appalachians are a very old mountain range, they are dated to about 480 million years ago when they formed during the Ordovician Period. At their peak, these mountains reached heights similar to the Rocky Mountains and the Alps in Europe, but because of the natural erosion they have shrunk and nowadays are much smaller in height.
