In which condition will population growth affect water resources the most?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When water sources are limited and growth is rapid

The correct answer is A: the effect will be greatest when water sources are limited and population growth is rapid. More people generally require more water for drinking, cooking, sanitation, homes, farming and economic activities. If the available water supply is already small, rapid growth can increase competition for water, lower per-person availability and intensify water stress. This does not mean that every growing population faces the same crisis; planning, conservation and efficient use can reduce pressure. Option B combines abundant water with slow growth, so demand is less likely to exceed supply. Option C is wrong because a declining population usually reduces growth-related demand. Option D is wrong because zero demand would cause no pressure on water resources. Memory cue: greatest water stress occurs when demand rises quickly but supply is limited.
