Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct as Equatorial regions, characterized by dense tropical rainforests (selvas) and extreme heat/humidity, are generally less urbanized and sparsely populated due to the harsh environment [2]. Statement 2 is correct because Mediterranean regions have historically attracted human settlement due to their pleasant climate, leading to high levels of urbanization and the development of large coastal cities. Statement 3 is incorrect; Equatorial regions have low population concentrations because the extreme climate is uncomfortable for habitation. Statement 4 is incorrect; while Mediterranean regions are famous for viticulture and citrus fruits, plantation farming (large-scale monoculture of cash crops like rubber or cocoa) is a characteristic feature of tropical and equatorial regions, not Mediterranean ones. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
