A
They can be misleading due to the uneven distribution of population.
💡 Explanation:
Choropleth maps use colors to represent the values of a variable across a geographic area. However, if the population is unevenly distributed, the colors can be misleading. For example, a choropleth map of population density in India might show that the entire country is densely populated, when in reality, the population is concentrated in a few urban areas.
