Which option wisely explains the difference between population growth and population explosion?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Every growth is not an explosion; rapid uncontrolled growth may be called an explosion

The direct answer is A. Population growth is a general term for a change in population size over time. It may be slow, moderate, rapid, positive, or negative, depending on births, deaths, and migration. Population explosion is a stronger expression used for very rapid and often difficult-to-manage population increase, especially when it creates serious pressure on resources, services, employment, housing, or the environment. A is correct because it separates ordinary growth from an exceptionally rapid and pressure-creating increase. B is wrong because the two terms are not always interchangeable; explosion describes a more extreme situation. C is wrong because the term specifically concerns a population. D is wrong because population growth can be positive or negative, not always negative. Memory cue: growth is the broad idea; explosion is unusually rapid growth with strong pressure.
