If population grows fast and housing construction remains slow, what can happen?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Housing pressure may increase

The correct answer is A: housing pressure may increase. Housing demand depends partly on the number of people and households needing a place to live. First, rapid population growth adds residents and may create more households. Second, slow construction means that the supply of houses does not increase at the same speed. When demand rises faster than supply, existing homes may become overcrowded, rents may rise, and some people may face difficulty finding adequate housing. These are forms of housing pressure. Choice B is incorrect because a larger population does not remove the need for homes; it usually increases it. Choice C is incorrect because rapid growth means the population is increasing, not becoming zero. Choice D is incorrect because the physical area of a place does not expand automatically when its population rises. Memory cue: compare demand with supply—fast population growth plus slow housing supply creates pressure.
