Why can rapid population growth increase environmental pressure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Due to rising demand for land, water, energy, and waste management

Correct answer: A. Rapid population growth means that more people need homes, food, water, energy, transport, and public services. Step by step, a larger population can increase the demand for land and freshwater; producing and transporting more goods can require more energy; and more households and industries can produce more solid waste and wastewater. If resources are not managed carefully, this may cause pollution, pressure on forests, soil, rivers, and groundwater, and greater difficulty in waste disposal. A is correct because it clearly describes the population–resource–environment connection. B is wrong because population growth does not stop Earth’s rotation. C is wrong because the Moon’s size is unrelated to population change. D is wrong because forests do not automatically increase and may even be cleared for settlements or farming. Memory cue: more people can mean more resource demand and more waste, though good planning can reduce the pressure.
