Population figures for a city can vary significantly depending on what areas are included in the count. Often, governments will report a value for the city proper (including only residents within the city limits) and another for the larger metropolitan area (including residents from nearby places beyond the city limits). Citing the data in the table, a journalist claims the population estimates from the United Nations (UN) most likely included people outside the cities proper.

Which choice best describes data in the table that support the journalist's claim?

• C.

  The reported city proper population of Bogota is significantly larger than the reported city proper population of Houston.
