Assertion: Areas with a comfortable climate, where there is not much seasonal variation, attract more people. This statement is true as comfortable climates are generally more conducive to living, work, and agriculture, leading to higher population densities.

Reasoning: Mediterranean regions were inhabited from early periods in history due to their pleasant climate. While this statement is also true, it does not directly explain why areas with a comfortable climate attract more people today. Simply citing a historical example doesn't explain the underlying principle of why comfortable climates are attractive. The Mediterranean is an illustration of the principle, not an explanation of it.
