If a rural area has rapid growth and limited farmland what problem is likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Small holdings and land pressure

Direct answer: A, small holdings and land pressure. In a rural area, many households may depend on a limited amount of farmland. As population grows, land may be divided among family members or used more intensively, so individual holdings can become smaller and competition for cultivable land can increase. This may also create pressure for better productivity, other employment and careful land use, though the exact outcome depends on local laws and practices. A is correct because it links rapid population growth with a fixed rural resource. B is wrong because sea depth is not the relevant land-use problem here. C is wrong because glacier expansion is a separate physical process and does not follow from rural population growth. D is wrong because the area does not become infinite. Memory cue: more rural dependants on fixed farmland means smaller shares or greater land pressure.
