What is one possible effect of rapid population growth in rural areas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure on agricultural land

Direct answer: A is correct. Many rural households depend substantially on agricultural land for food, work, and income. If the rural population grows rapidly while cultivable land remains limited, more people may depend on the same land. Average holdings may become smaller through division, competition for land may increase, and demand for soil and water may become greater. This is why pressure on agricultural land is a possible effect; it is not claimed to happen identically everywhere. B is wrong because a rural population increase does not directly or necessarily reduce sea trade. C is wrong because population growth does not cause glaciers to expand. D is wrong because a larger population does not automatically stop a river’s flow, although human use can affect water availability in some situations. Memory cue: more rural people sharing limited farmland means greater land pressure.
