How did population growth increase social tension in Europe?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Demand for jobs and food rose while opportunities remained limited
The governing concept is pressure on resources caused by population growth. As the population increased, more people competed for limited employment, housing and food. In many towns this produced overcrowding, poverty and insecurity, especially for workers and the urban poor. Option A correctly explains the link with social tension. Options B, C and D describe improving conditions, whereas the historical problem was increasing pressure and deprivation.
