O Length of the route​

Answer 1

Option B is the correct answer

Answer 2

Size of population is the major factor which affects the demand for transport in a particular area.

Explanation:

• The size of population directly affects the demand for transport. For example if a place has low population less number of people will reside in that area, less industrial, business and economic activities would be carried out and which will lead to less displacement of people and hence less demand of transport.
• On the other hand, a large population of people will ensure a large amount of industrial and economic activities to be carried out in that area, ensuring huge trade and a huge demand for transport.

Hence, size or population is a major factor in determining the demand for transport.
