Answer:
a. lack of sophisticated culture to establish urban areas.
Explanation:
Although the South had less cultural diversity than the North, it is false that they lacked a sophisticated culture that could have established an urban area. In fact, the other statements better reflect the reality of this region. The South was generally disinterested in industrialization because their economy was very successful and stable. Moreover, their transportation was very basic, and consisted mostly of natural waterways. Finally, the South had a shortage of capital due to its smaller free population and the nature of their economy.
