In which condition will tension between population growth and development planning be most visible?

Correct answer: Rapid growth and weak services exist together

Direct answer: A, when rapid population growth occurs together with weak services. Development planning must provide schools, hospitals, housing, water, sanitation, transport, and employment for the population. If the number of people rises quickly but services and infrastructure remain weak, demand can exceed available capacity. This creates visible pressure and tension in planning. A is correct because it combines a strong increase in demand with limited supply. B is less likely to create serious tension because slow growth gives planning more time and strong planning improves capacity. C describes a relatively balanced condition, not a major conflict. D also suggests that facilities are greater than demand, so pressure should be low. The question is about the relationship between population increase and service capacity, not population growth alone. Memory cue: rapid demand plus weak supply creates planning pressure.
