The questions that could be answered by a distribution map are:

A) Who are the victims of a certain type of crime?

C) How many people own homes?

D) Who can read and who can't?

Explanation:

Distribution maps are used to represent the spatial distribution of a characteristic or attribute on a map.  They are very useful for identifying patterns.  In the case of questions A, C, and D, a distribution map could help to show where people with a certain characteristic are located.  For example, for option A, the map might show that people living in a certain area of town were the victims of a given crime.  

Option C could not be answered by a distribution map because it is looking for a complex set of reasons that cannot be mapped out spatially.
