If population growth is very rapid but water and housing resources are limited, which effect is most likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Resource pressure and housing stress

The direct answer is A: resource pressure and housing stress. A rapidly growing population increases demand for drinking water, sanitation, homes, transport, schools and health services. When the supply of water and housing does not expand at a similar pace, the gap between demand and available resources becomes larger. This can lead to overcrowding, competition for water, informal or poorly serviced settlements and pressure on public facilities. The exact severity depends on planning and investment, but pressure is the most reasonable immediate effect. Option B is wrong because every population still needs water. Option C reverses the problem: limited resources do not become unlimited automatically. Option D is not a direct consequence; population stability requires changes in births, deaths or migration. Memory cue: rapid growth raises demand; limited supply creates pressure.
