Look for reliable sources such as government reports, international organizations, or news articles that provide information on the current situation of coca production in these countries.
2. To determine the true statement about the physical geography of North America, you can research each of the options provided and look for reliable sources that provide information on the Mississippi drainage basin, geological activity on the West Coast, tributaries of the Mississippi River, and the extent of the Canadian Shield in Canada.
