In which situation should planners remain careful even after the population growth rate falls?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the total population is very large and millions are still added every year

Correct answer: A. A growth rate is a percentage, while annual population addition is an absolute number. Even when the percentage rate falls, a very large population base can produce a large number of additional people each year. For example, a small percentage of a huge population may still represent millions of people. Planners therefore need to continue preparing schools, hospitals, housing, transport, water supply, food systems and employment opportunities. This idea is sometimes called the effect of a large base: the rate can slow before the total population stops increasing. B is wrong because the question describes an ongoing addition of people, and in real planning births are not simply ignored. C is impossible as a general population condition and would not remove the need for services. D is wrong because land is not infinite, and even a larger area would not automatically provide equal access to jobs or services. Memory cue: low percentage does not always mean low number; always check the base population.
