If population growth is high in an area, what effect can it have on resources?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Demand and pressure may increase

Correct answer: A. Population growth means that more people may need food, water, land, energy, housing, transport, education, and health services. If the supply of these resources and services does not increase at the same pace, demand and pressure on them can rise. A is carefully worded as “may” because the actual result depends on resource availability, technology, management, and planning. B is wrong because resources do not automatically become unlimited when population increases. C is wrong because every person still needs water, and total water demand may rise. D is wrong because more people generally create greater, not smaller, housing needs. High growth does not always guarantee shortage, but it creates a stronger need for careful planning. Memory cue: more people usually mean more needs.
