shanytowns

The correct answer is C) shantytowns.

Shantytowns, also known as slums or informal settlements, are often the only option for many rural migrants in Latin America when they reach the city. These are makeshift settlements characterized by poor-quality, makeshift housing constructed from materials like scrap metal, cardboard, and plastic.

To arrive at this answer, you can use your knowledge of the living conditions for rural migrants in Latin America when they migrate to cities. These migrants often face economic challenges and lack the financial means to secure proper housing, such as apartments. Additionally, shelters typically provide temporary accommodations, whereas shantytowns are more permanent settlements. Finally, minifundia refers to small-scale agricultural landholding, which is unrelated to housing in urban areas.

So, by process of elimination, the correct answer is C) shantytowns.
