Which option correctly relates population growth and social service capacity?

Correct answer: यदि वृद्धि सेवा क्षमता से तेज हो तो दबाव बढ़ता है

The direct answer is A. Social service capacity is the ability of facilities and systems to meet people’s needs. It includes schools, hospitals, drinking-water supply, sanitation, housing, transport and emergency services. To analyse the situation, compare the number of people needing services with the capacity available. If the population grows faster than facilities and staff can be added, demand becomes greater than supply. The result may be overcrowded classrooms, pressure on hospitals, water shortages, longer waiting times and weaker service quality. B is wrong because population size determines how many people may need services. C is wrong because slow expansion can leave essential needs unmet; speed must be judged against demand and quality. D is wrong because a larger population generally creates more service needs, not fewer. Memory cue: when users grow faster than facilities, pressure grows.
