When does rapid population growth increase pressure on resources the most?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When resources are limited

Direct answer: A is correct. Resources such as land, fresh water, food, housing materials, and energy are needed to meet human needs. Rapid population growth increases the number of people requiring these resources. If the supply of resources is limited or grows more slowly than demand, competition and pressure increase. This may lead to shortages, higher demand for water and food, overcrowding, or greater use of land. B is wrong because truly unlimited resources would not face scarcity pressure. C is wrong because falling demand generally reduces pressure. D is wrong because a declining population usually reduces the number of users, although local shortages can still occur for other reasons. The key is the balance between demand and available supply. Memory cue: more people plus limited supply means greater resource pressure.
