Which answer best explains the relationship between population growth and resource-carrying capacity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure rises when growth exceeds resource capacity

Correct answer: A, pressure rises when population growth exceeds resource capacity. Resource-carrying capacity means the amount of people and activity that available resources and systems can support over a given time without serious damage or shortage. Resources include water, food, land, energy, housing, and public services. If population increases faster than these resources can be supplied, competition and pressure may rise. This can appear as shortages, overcrowding, environmental degradation, or stress on services. A is correct because it connects population increase with the limits of available resources. B is wrong because resources are not unlimited; their quantity and ability to renew vary. C is wrong because population needs directly affect resource demand. D is wrong because resources do not automatically double merely because population rises; supply depends on nature, technology, management, and planning. Memory cue: carrying capacity is a limit to support, not a guarantee of unlimited supply.
