If the growth rate is low but the total population is very large, what planning must still be prioritised?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Large-scale availability of basic services

Answer: A. Growth rate tells us how quickly the population is changing, while total population tells us how many people already need services. A low rate does not mean that the population is small. If millions of people already live in an area, they still require schools, hospitals, drinking water, sanitation, transport, housing and employment. Therefore, large-scale provision of basic services must remain a planning priority. A is correct because planning must respond to the actual number of people as well as the rate of change. B is wrong because ignoring data can lead to poor decisions. C is wrong because existing people continue to need services. D is wrong because a low growth rate never makes service needs zero. Memory cue: rate shows speed; total population shows the size of the present responsibility.
