In which situation can population growth make a water crisis more serious?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the population grows and water sources are limited

Direct answer: A. A water crisis may become more serious when more people need water but the available sources remain limited. First, population growth increases household, agricultural and other demands. Second, limited rivers, wells, reservoirs or groundwater cannot provide an unlimited supply. Third, if demand rises faster than supply, shortages and pressure on water resources may increase. Option A includes both conditions: rising population and restricted water sources. Option B is generally less likely to intensify a crisis because fewer people reduce demand and more sources improve supply. Option C is wrong because an uninhabited place has no ordinary household demand. Option D is wrong because zero demand would not create a water crisis. Memory cue: water pressure rises when demand increases while supply stays limited.
