Egypt is a country in North Africa with a population of 104,258,327 people as of 2021. The Nile River, the longest river on Earth, runs north to south through the country. Much of the country is made up of the Sahara Desert. Cairo, Egypt’s capital city, is the third-largest city in Africa with a population of nearly 21 million people. What best explains why Egypt’s physiological density is much higher than its arithmetic density?

Too many immigrants are entering the country, and it has reached its carrying capacity.

Its land might be unsuitable for large-scale agriculture to feed a large population.

Its carrying capacity has already been met, and food and commodities must be imported.

More people live in rural areas of the country than in urban areas, creating an imbalance.

There is not enough clean water to support the country’s population.
