In his book 'The Human Mosaic', geographer Terry G. Jordan-Bychkov describes the process of urbanization and the factors affecting the distribution of human settlements. Considering this context and your knowledge about population studies, why does a location's physical geography often influence the growth and development of its settlements?

The physical geography of a location - its water availability, topography, climate, and natural resources - significantly influences the growth and development of human settlements.

The physical geography of a location has no impact on the growth and development of its settlements.

The growth and development of settlements are only influenced by the technological advancements of the region, not its physical geography.

The growth and development of human settlements are solely influenced by the economic status of the inhabitants.

Settlements grow and develop based on the political decisions of the region, irrespective of its physical geography.
