If natural increase is high but resources are limited, what long-term pressure can arise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure on food, water, housing, and employment

Direct answer: Option A. Natural increase means that births exceed deaths, so the number of people rises through internal demographic change. A larger population generally requires more food, drinking water, homes, schools, healthcare, transport, and employment. When land, water, jobs, and other resources are limited, demand can become greater than what is readily available. This creates long-term pressure and makes careful planning necessary. Option A is correct because it lists realistic areas of rising demand. Option B is wrong because resources do not become infinite merely because population increases. Option C is wrong because high natural increase does not make the population suddenly disappear. Option D is wrong because greater population pressure makes planning more important, not unnecessary. The exact effect depends on technology, distribution, and management, but the pressure described in A is the logical demographic concern. Memory cue: more people plus limited resources means greater demand and planning pressure.
