Why can per-capita resources decrease despite rapid growth in an area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because resources remain the same while the number of people increases

Direct answer: A is correct. Per-capita resources mean the amount of a resource available for each person. A simple expression is total available resources divided by total population. If the total supply of water, land, food or another resource stays roughly unchanged while the population grows rapidly, the same supply must be shared among more people. The average amount per person can therefore fall, even if the total resource has not fallen. B would tend to increase per-capita availability, not reduce it. C removes the scarcity described in the question, and D is the opposite of rapid population growth. Memory cue: same share divided among more people means a smaller share per person.
