In which situation will population change affect food planning?

Correct answer: When population rises and food demand increases

Direct answer: Option A—an increase in population generally increases the amount of food that must be planned, produced, stored, and distributed. Administrative planning uses population information to estimate requirements for food and other services. Planners need to consider not only the number of people but also where they live, the time period, and relevant age or household patterns. Option A is correct because it connects population growth with increased food demand. Option B gives no population whose food needs could be planned. Option C removes the very demand being considered. Option D concerns a physical feature and, by itself, gives no information about the number of people or their food requirements. Population change may result from births, deaths, or migration, and each can alter local demand. Memory cue: more people usually mean more food to plan for, even when their increase comes through migration.
