Which one of the following is the correct descending order of countries in terms of per capita availability of arable land ?

The per capita availability of arable land is determined by dividing a country's total arable land by its total population. Brazil has a significantly lower population density compared to India and China, resulting in the highest per capita availability among the three [2]. While India has the second-largest total area of arable land globally (approximately 154.4 million hectares), its massive population reduces the per capita availability to roughly 0.10–0.12 hectares [1]. China, despite having a large total arable land area (approximately 108.9 million hectares), has a higher population and less arable land than India, leading to the lowest per capita availability among these nations. Therefore, the correct descending order is Brazil, followed by India, and then China [1].
