If an area has more facilities, what effect can it have on population?

Correct answer: Attraction of people may increase

Facilities such as schools, hospitals, transport, markets, electricity, and communication make daily life easier. They can also provide better opportunities for education, health care, business, and employment. As a result, people may choose to move to or settle in places with more facilities. This is a human factor in population distribution, and its effect is usually an increase in the area’s attraction, although it does not guarantee that every person will move there.

Option C is correct because improved facilities can increase the attraction of a place and encourage settlement or migration toward it. Option A is an extreme and unreasonable claim: facilities do not make population zero. Option B is the opposite of the likely effect, while D has no connection with population geography. The wording “may increase” is appropriate because population response depends on other conditions too.
