B. 2 million people per square kilometer
C. 0.5 million people per square kilometer
D. 20 million people per square kilometer

Correct Answer:

Option B – 2 million people per square kilometer

Total population = 100,000,000

Total land area = 50 sq km

Population density=(Total population) / (Land area)

=2,000,000

=2 million persons per sq km

By calculation, the population density is 2 million people per square meter
