The answer should be A.

Answer 2

a. The economy relies on traditional activities such as herding and modern industries not affected by weather because the climate is ill-suited to growing most crops.

Step-by-step explanation:

The climatic conditions in Chile tend to be quite harsh and extreme. The population of the country has, therefore, adapted to this. Although agriculture is possible in some regions, the economy mostly relies on traditional activities that are not related to growing crops, such as herding. Moreover, modern industry established in the cities is impacted very little by these extreme climatic conditions.
