Answer:

The correct answer is C. The majority of Australian population is located in southeastern Australia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most of the approximately 25 million Australians live concentrated in the main cities of the southeastern part of the country (Sidney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Newcastle, Canberra, Brisbane, etc). In fact, 80% of Australia population live in those cities. The population of Australia has quadrupled since the end of the First World War, encouraged by an ambitious immigration program.
