In which condition can population growth affect rural poverty more visibly?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When limited land is shared by more people and jobs are few

The direct answer is A: the effect is more visible when limited land must support more people and employment opportunities are few. In rural areas, families may depend heavily on farming or related work. If the available land is divided among more people, each household may receive a smaller share, and income can become inadequate. Few non-farm jobs make it harder to find another livelihood. Step by step: population increases; land per person falls; competition for work and resources rises; household income may become less secure; rural poverty can therefore become more visible. Option B is wrong because abundant land and sufficient jobs reduce pressure. Option C is wrong because a declining population does not represent the stated increase in pressure. Option D is wrong because strong irrigation and income generally improve livelihood conditions, though they do not remove every problem. Memory cue: more people, less land per person and fewer jobs create stronger livelihood pressure.
