Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Muslim populations have remained high in the Middle East and northern Africa.

Step-by-step explanation

The map shows the percentage of the Muslim population in all countries of the world. This map has a table in which it identifies a color with each percentage of the Muslim population. According to the above, those countries that are in brown have 70% or more of their population Muslims; those countries that are dark orange indicates that 40% and 70% of its population is Muslim; those countries that are colored orange indicates that between 10% and 40% of their population is Muslim; those countries that are light orange, indicate between 1% and 10% of its population is Muslim; those that are light yellow indicate that less than 1% of its population is Muslim. According to the above, it can be concluded that the largest concentration of Muslim population in the world is in North Africa and the Middle East, where it arose. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Muslim populations have remained high in the Middle East and northern Africa.
