The most densely populated island of the world is

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Java 
Explanation:
· The Indonesian island of Java is widely recognized as the most densely populated large island in the world.
· It is home to over 150 million people, a majority of Indonesia's total population, on only a small percentage of its total land area.
· The population density of Java is notably high, with more than 1,000 people per square kilometer.
· For context, this density is comparable to some of the world's most densely populated countries, such as Bangladesh. 
Information Booster:
· Political and Economic Center: Java is the political and economic heart of Indonesia. Its capital, Jakarta, is located on the island.
· Fertile Land: The island's volcanic soil is highly fertile, supporting intensive agriculture, which has historically sustained a large population.
· Urbanization: While much of Java's population is rural, its cities have grown rapidly, contributing to the high overall density.
· Micro-islands vs. Major Islands: While tiny islets like Santa Cruz del Islote in Colombia or some parts of Mumbai are technically more densely populated, Java is the most densely populated among the major islands of the world. 
Additional Knowledge: (a) Iceland
· Iceland is one of the least densely populated countries and islands in the world.
· Its population density is very low, at approximately 4 people per square kilometer. 
(b) Puerto Rico
· Puerto Rico is a densely populated island, with around 360-380 people per square kilometer.
· However, its density is significantly lower than that of Java. 
(d) Sri Lanka
· Sri Lanka is also a densely populated island nation, with a population density of over 300 people per square kilometer.
· While densely populated, its density does not surpass that of Java
