Why can even a low growth rate increase pressure on resources in a large country?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because a large base population can add many people

Direct answer: A, because a large base population can add a large absolute number of people. A percentage rate is applied to the starting population. For example, 1% of 10 million is 100,000 people, while 1% of 100,000 is only 1,000. Thus, even a low rate can create many additional people when the base population is very large. More people may increase demand for food, water, housing, transport, schools, health care, and employment, so pressure on resources can rise. B is wrong because a low positive rate still adds people; it does not automatically reduce the population. C is wrong because population size affects demand for resources. D is wrong because population growth does not automatically change the physical area of a country. Memory cue: rate is the percentage; absolute growth is the actual number added.
