Answer:

Option: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Between the founding of the country and Reconstruction, the correct demographic trend that occurred in the South is:

(B) More people lived in the South than the North due to agricultural techniques that led to increased food production.

During this time period, the South had a larger population than the North primarily because of its agrarian economy and the reliance on labor-intensive crops such as cotton, tobacco, and rice. The introduction of new agricultural techniques, such as the cotton gin, led to increased productivity and expansion of plantation agriculture, attracting more people to settle in the South.
