Which option correctly relates population growth and urban sprawl?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rapid urban growth can make the city spread into outer areas

The direct answer is A. Population growth means that the number of people increases. More people usually create greater demand for houses, roads, schools, workplaces, shops, and other services. When the existing built-up part of a city cannot provide enough space, construction may move towards nearby villages or open land. This outward, often scattered expansion of a city is called urban sprawl. A is correct because rapid urban growth can push development into outer areas. B is wrong because growth generally increases the need for space rather than always shrinking the city. C is wrong because population change is one important factor affecting land use, although planning and transport also matter. D is wrong because urban growth mainly adds buildings and infrastructure; it does not only increase forests. Memory cue: more people plus more land demand can mean outward city growth.
