Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Nile River shows up as a dark streak on maps of population density in northern Africa because it is surrounded by highly populated areas. The river's water is critical for agriculture and human settlements, leading to concentrated populations along its banks.

Note: Choice B is incorrect as the length of a river does not necessarily correlate with its importance. Choice C is partially correct in that the population area is broad, but it is not far away from the river itself. Choice D is incorrect as the Nile River is actually one of the longest in the world and is home to millions of people.
