In which situation can total population remain stable but local density pressure increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: People start concentrating in a small urban centre

The correct answer is B: people may become concentrated in a small urban centre. Total population and population distribution are different ideas. Total population tells us how many people live in the whole area, while density describes how many people occupy a unit of area. If the total number remains unchanged but people move from scattered villages or wider spaces into one small town, the town’s local density rises. This can increase pressure on housing, roads, water, sanitation, schools, and health services even though the total population has not increased. Option A is wrong because spreading people evenly would usually reduce concentration and local pressure. Option B is correct because concentration places more people in a smaller space. Option C is wrong because if everyone leaves, the local population and pressure fall rather than rise. Option D is wrong because no spatial change would not create new local concentration. Memory cue: stable total does not mean stable distribution.
