The correct answer is:
Approximately 60 percent of its population lives in Asia and 40 percent lives in the Middle East.
To determine which of the options describes the distribution of Christianity, we can calculate the percentage of its population in each region.
Option 1: Approximately 25 percent of its population lives in Europe, South America, and Africa.

Option 3: Approximately 50 percent of its population lives in North America and the Middle East.
Option 4: Approximately 60 percent of its population lives in Asia and 40 percent lives in the Middle East.
To find the correct answer, we need to calculate the total percentage of the population in each region mentioned in the options and see which matches the given choices.
Calculations:
Option 1: Europe + South America + Africa = 25%
Option 2: Asia = >90%
Option 3: North America + Middle East = 50%
Option 4: Asia + Middle East = 60% + 40% = 100%
Now, by comparing the calculated percentages with the provided options, we can see that none of the options match exactly.
Therefore, none of the options accurately describe the distribution of Christianity as given.
