A. because of the lack of available water resources in the region

The Sahara desert is one of the driest regions in the world, with limited natural water sources. The Nile River and the Mediterranean coast provide access to water for agriculture, drinking, and other needs, making them more hospitable areas for human habitation. This is why most people in the Sahara tend to live along these water sources.
