APR coverage area by population reaches approximately what fraction of Alabama's population?

• A. One-third
• B. Half
• C. Two-thirds
• D. Three-quarters

Answer: (C)

This question is about understanding what “coverage area by population” means: the portion of the state’s residents who are within the broadcast reach. In Alabama, the network tends to cover the major population centers—the cities and the surrounding counties where most people live—while more rural, sparsely populated areas may fall outside the signal. Because these urban areas contain roughly two-thirds of the state's residents, the coverage by population is about two-thirds. The other options would imply too small or too large a share of people are within reach given typical broadcast footprints that focus on the populated centers. So two-thirds best matches how many people live where the APR reach can serve.
