You are correct! Option C, "people settled close to rivers and waterways to access resources and transportation," describes the way geographic features influenced how North American countries were settled.
To arrive at this answer, one can analyze the geographic factors that played a role in the settlement of North America. The continent has several major rivers, such as the Mississippi, Ohio, and Missouri rivers, as well as the Great Lakes. These water bodies served as valuable resources and transportation routes.
Settling close to rivers and waterways provided early European settlers with a means of transportation for trade and access to resources. Waterways played an essential role in enabling the movement of goods, encouraging commerce, communication, and the establishment of settlements.
Additionally, rivers allowed for irrigation and the development of agriculture, supporting the growth of settlements and providing a reliable water source for the population.
Therefore, option C accurately describes how geographic features influenced the settlement patterns of North American countries.
