What can be one benefit of slow population growth?

Correct answer: Planning services may become easier

The direct answer is A: planning services may become easier. When population increases slowly, the number of additional people needing schools, hospitals, houses, water supply, transport, and other services may be more manageable over time. This gives planners more opportunity to estimate demand and provide facilities in an organised way. Option A is correct because it states a possible administrative benefit, not a guarantee that planning will always be perfect. Option B is wrong because slow population growth does not stop services; services continue to operate. Option C is wrong because population can still be counted through records and censuses. Option D is wrong because resources do not automatically disappear because growth is slow. In fact, slower growth may reduce pressure on some resources, although careful management is still necessary. Memory cue: slower growth can make rising demand easier to manage.
