Answer: Please see below.

Explanation: The highlands of East Asia were sparsely populated but provided protection to Rivers, Plateaus, Islands around it thereby making people settle in the area near the river basin areas as it provided fertile soil for the people to live and settle, since the highlands were cold and rugged.
