Java is the most densely populated island in which country?

• A. Indonesia
• B. Vietnam
• C. Malaysia
• D. Philippines

Answer: (A)

Population density is the number of people living per square kilometer. Java is an Indonesian island where a huge share of the country’s population is packed into a relatively small area, with major cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung creating a high concentration of people. That combination of many residents and limited land makes Java the most densely populated inhabited island in Indonesia. The other countries listed have dense areas and many islands, but none match Java’s island-level density, and Java’s location is in Indonesia, not in Vietnam, Malaysia, or the Philippines.
