What effect can population growth have on the environment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Resource use and waste may increase

Direct answer: A, population growth may increase resource use and the amount of waste. More people generally need more water, food, energy, housing and transport. If these needs are met without careful planning, extraction of resources, land conversion, pollution and solid waste may increase. This is a possible pressure, not an unavoidable result: conservation, efficient technology and good waste management can reduce harm. Option A is correct because it connects a larger population with potentially greater demand and waste. Option B is wrong because growth does not always improve environmental conditions. Option C is wrong because forests do not become infinite; they can face pressure from land and resource demand. Option D is wrong because water remains an essential need. Memory cue: more people usually mean more resource demand, so sustainable planning is important.
