Why can resource pressure remain even when the growth rate is low in an area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the total population may already be large

The direct answer is A: the total population may already be large. A growth rate describes how quickly population changes relative to its existing base; it does not describe how many people already live in the area. A large population growing slowly can still require substantial amounts of water, food, housing, transport, schools, health care, and energy. Also, a small percentage applied to a very large base may add many people in absolute terms. Option B is wrong because low growth does not eliminate demand. C is wrong because all residents need resources even when growth is slow. D is wrong because a low rate does not reduce the population to zero. Memory cue: rate measures speed of change, while total population determines the existing scale of demand.
