In which direction has the geographic distribution of the American population shifted in the last 50 years?

A.
northeast

B.
southeast

C.
north

D.
southwest

I'm thinking between A or B (perhaps B since I could have sworn I saw something about it in one of my lessons but I'm not sure).

answer is D

Actually, I just found one sentence that states that the nation's population has generally shifted from the northeast to the southwest... but they don't say anything else so I don't know which one to pick 0_0 (A or D)

FROM the Northeast

TO the Southwest

A few years ago I knew no one in Texas. Since then a granddaughter and a young friend have moved to Texas.

Ah I didn't catch that thank you so much Ms. Sue!

You are welcome, dbh
