Population density is calculated by dividing the total number of individuals in a population by the area they occupy.

So,

Population density = Number of trees / Area

Therefore,

Population density = 500 / 50 = 10 trees per square kilometer

So, the correct answer is option B - 10 trees per square kilometer.
