Hint:
- The population of a place depends on climate.
- The consequences of climate change comprise warming temperatures, differences in precipitation, gains in the frequency or intensity of some drastic weather events, and soaring sea levels.

Complete Answer:
- The high mountain regions of Jammu and Kashmir, Arunachal Pradesh and desert parts of Rajasthan are very sparsely populated . This is due to extremely cold climatic conditions, which makes living difficult. High and snow covered areas do not permit any kind of habitation.

-Even if the Earth population is growing, sparsely populated areas still comprise the biggest part of the world.

- Independently from ecological or political disparities, sparsely populated across the world amount to a number of similar characteristics comprising weaker political or executive control.

-Sparsely populated regions across the World can be evaluated as a particular environment or geographical classification and addressed globally as such.

Option a: Population is dense in an area with favourable climate. This option is incorrect.

Option b: An area with extreme climate is sparsely populated because living conditions are difficult here. This option is correct.

Option c: Areas with cool climate are not sparsely populated. This option is incorrect.

Option d: This option is irrelevant. Hence, it is correct.

Hence, the correct option is 'b'.

Note:
- Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, the Arctic Circle, the Sahara, the Himalayan region of Asia, Iceland, Northwest Africa, the Outback of Australia, and Mongolia are very sparsely populated.

-Monaco is the world's most densely populated place and the wealthiest in the world.
