The good answers are:

- It is an area where no one lives.

- It is constantly patrolled by military personnel from both countries.

Explanation:

The DMZ was established along a cease-fire line following the end of hostilities in the Korean Peninsula in 1953. It roughly follows latitude 38 ° N, which follows the demarcation line between North Korea and South Korea after the end of WWII. No civilians are allowed to live there, only military units constantly patrol the area, and there is a fence. The bulk of forces of both sides had to be pulled back 1.2 miles from the line.
