Answer:

I think it would be C

Step-by-step explanation:

A population density is how dense the population is in an area, its population / by land which gets rid of A and D, and b is the number of populations, we need the number of organisms to find how many organisms and in that area, the number of populations I don't think would be right.

Answer:

b. number of populations/land area

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate population density is a very simple one, we just need the information about the land area and the number of population, and the formula is:

population density = number of populations / land area

Practically, what we do to get to the result is take the number of populations and divide it by the land area, so we get the population density.

Example:

467,012 people live in a land area of 14,111 km²

467,012 / 14,111 = 33.096

So we have 33.096 people living in one square kilometer.
