In which condition can rural-to-urban migration increase pressure from unplanned settlements in cities?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When in-migration is rapid and housing services grow slowly

The correct answer is C. Rapid rural-to-urban in-migration increases the demand for housing, water, sanitation, transport and employment. If formal housing and public services expand more slowly than the number of incoming people, many newcomers may be unable to find affordable, planned accommodation. This demand–supply gap can increase pressure for informal or unplanned settlements. A is wrong because housing construction faster than migration tends to reduce the shortage. B is wrong because no migrants means this particular migration pressure does not occur. D is wrong because a rural area does not need to have no population; rural-to-urban movement can occur wherever people leave rural places. The explanation does not mean that migrants themselves are the problem; it highlights inadequate planning and slow service provision. Memory cue: fast population inflow plus slow housing and services creates urban pressure.
