The population of a major U.S. city = 8,550,405

Area of the city = 1213.4 sq.km

Density =
(Population)/(area)

Density =
(8,550,405)/(1213.4)

Density = 7046.6499
(People)/(km^(2))

As the density here will not be in decimal so after rounding the density in whole number,

Density = 7047
(People)/(km^(2))

Option A is the answer
