A country's population is growing rapidly, but agricultural production is growing even faster. What effect on food availability per person is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Per-capita availability may increase

Per-capita food availability means the amount of food available, on average, for each person. It depends on the ratio of total agricultural production to total population. If production grows faster than population, the numerator of this ratio rises more quickly than the denominator, so food available per person can increase.

Thus option A is correct. For example, if population becomes 1.10 times its former size but food production becomes 1.20 times as large, the amount per person rises because production has grown relatively faster. This does not mean every person receives exactly the same amount, but it shows the possible overall effect. The other choices either reverse the relationship or make claims unsupported by the information.
