Which of the following best describes New York City tenements in the early 1900s?

Tenements were densely packed apartment buildings in New York City, often with poor living conditions. Around the early 1900s, roughly two-thirds of the city’s population lived in tenements, so choice A is the best description. Choices C and D are incorrect because tenements were in the city, not outside it.
