If the growth rate is positive but per-capita resources are declining, what may be the main reason?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The population is increasing, but resources are not growing as fast

The direct answer is B. Per-capita resources mean the total amount of a resource divided among the population. Even when the total amount of water, land, food or other resources rises slightly, the amount available for each person can fall if the population grows faster. For example, if a resource increases by 2 percent but the population increases by 5 percent, average availability per person declines. Option B is correct because it compares the rates of population growth and resource growth. Option A would generally increase, not decrease, per-capita availability. Option C contradicts the statement that growth is positive. Option D is wrong because resources are not unlimited. Memory cue: per capita = total resource divided by people; the faster-growing side controls the pressure.
