Answer Details
The missing word in the sentence is describing the type of areas that make up a large portion of the country's surface. The options are: A. urban B. city C. rural D. cultivated Option C, "rural", is the best option to complete the sentence. This is because "rural" refers to areas that are located in the countryside or outside of urban areas, which is a suitable description for the areas being referred to in the sentence. The other options, such as "urban" and "city", would not be suitable as they refer to areas that are more developed and populated with buildings and infrastructure, whereas the sentence is describing open land used for agriculture. Option D, "cultivated", is a possible choice, but it is more suitable as an adjective to describe the type of land, rather than the whole area.
