A Correct answer
Explanation

Approximately 11-12% of Earth's total surface is land suitable for human habitation when considering all factors: only about 29% is land, and of that, significant portions are mountains, deserts, polar regions, or otherwise inhospitable. One-eighth (12.5%) is a reasonable approximation of the truly habitable portion.
