Which option correctly separates the cause and consequence of population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A high birth rate can be a cause and resource pressure can be a consequence

Correct answer: A. Population change results from demographic processes, especially births, deaths, and migration. A high birth rate can contribute to natural increase and therefore may be one cause of population growth. If the number of people rises, demand for food, water, housing, energy, schools, health care, and transport may also rise; this can create resource and service pressure as a consequence. A is correct because it keeps the direction of cause and effect clear. B is wrong because resource pressure is not a formula for birth rate; it may influence decisions, but it is not the definition of the rate. C is wrong because population growth has identifiable causes. D is wrong because death rate is a demographic process or measure, not simply a consequence. Memory cue: ask “what produces the change?” for causes and “what follows the change?” for consequences.
