Only about 6 percent of Brazil's population lives in the Amazon Basin.

Option: (D)

Explanation:

The total population of Brazil in today's date is around 200 million out of which, around 11 million people reside in the Amazon basin. This makes around 6% of the 'total population of Brazil'. Despite having been surrounded by dense rainforests, the reason these many people reside there is the abundance of resources provided by the Amazon River basin for day-to-day living.
