Which statement about australia’s urban rim is not true?

three of australia’s most important cities—sydney, melbourne, and canberra—lie within this region.

the urban rim is sparsely populated because it is one of the hottest and driest regions in the country.

moist winds from the pacific ocean and the tasman sea bring frequent rains to the urban rim, making it an extremely fertile area.

the urban rim region in southeastern australia extends from the great dividing range to the eastern coast.

Hey there!

The answer to your question is option B. The Urban Rim is sparsely populated because it is one of the hottest and driest regions in the country.

Explanation:

The reason why this statement is not true is because 3 of the most important (and bigger cities) in Australia, lie in the Urban Rim. These cities are Melbourne (with a population of 4.443 million people), Canberra (with a population of 395,790 people as of 2016) and Sydney (with a population of 4.627 million people).

Option B states that the population in this area is sparse, which means the population is thinly dispersed or scattered, which as we can see, is not true with the high amount of people in the areas of Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. Therefore, option B is the one that is not true.
