If natural increase is high but urban facilities are weak, what is the most likely urban result?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure on basic services will increase

The direct answer is A: pressure on basic services will increase. Natural increase means that births are greater than deaths, so the number of people rises even without migration. As the population grows, more people need drinking water, sanitation, schools, hospitals, houses, transport and waste disposal. If urban facilities are weak, they cannot expand quickly enough to meet this rising demand. As a result, existing services may become overcrowded or insufficient, and shortages may appear. Option A is correct because it links population growth with limited service capacity. Option B is wrong because resources and facilities are not infinite. Option C is wrong because high natural increase normally adds to population rather than making it decline. Option D is wrong because weak facilities do not make migration mathematically impossible; people may still move in, although living conditions may become difficult. Memory cue: more people plus weak facilities equals greater service pressure.
