Explanation / Answer

1] Eastern option is correct

China is heavily populated on the east coast, compared to its mid and west inland areas. Because, the most fertile farm lands are located in the north and southeast. China has always been an agricultural country; we value farm lands and rivers above all other lands. People naturally migrate towards these areas. China only has an eastern coastline; the west is entirely inland mountains and desert. All of our commercial sea and river ports are located on the east coast. Chinese or Hua Xia culture started around two rivers: the Yang zi River, and the Yellow River.
