In which situation will population change directly affect food planning?

Correct answer: The population rises and food demand increases

The direct answer is A. When population increases, more people need food, so total food demand generally rises. Food planning must then consider production, storage, transport, distribution, prices, and access for the larger population. The exact amount of food needed also depends on people’s diets and other conditions, but the basic planning link is clear: more residents create greater aggregate demand. B and C describe situations in which there is no population or no food requirement, so they cannot represent a real increase in food-planning pressure. D concerns a physical change in a mountain and does not directly indicate how many people need food. A is therefore the only option connecting population change with a population requirement. Memory cue: more people usually mean more meals, so population growth must be included in food planning.
