Answer:

The correct answer is C. In North and South America, a majority of the population is located on the coasts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Historically, the vast majority of civilizations have sought to establish their urban centers around bodies of water, be they rivers or seas, that allow them a rapid expansion outward as well as channels through which to channel trade. Thus, it can be seen how throughout the world and especially the American continent, large cities and population centers are located primarily on the coasts. Examples of this situation are Vancouver in Canada, New York and Los Angeles in the United States, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil or Buenos Aires in Argentina.
