Which statement correctly differentiates causes and consequences of population change?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Births, deaths and migration can be causes; pressure on services can be a consequence

Direct answer: Option C is correct. Population change is mainly produced by three demographic processes: births, deaths and migration. Births add people, deaths remove people, and migration changes the number of people in a place through movement in or out. These processes can therefore act as causes or components of population change. A consequence is an effect that may appear afterward, such as greater pressure on schools, hospitals, housing, water or transport when population increases. Option A is wrong because resource pressure is an effect, not the birth rate itself. Option B is wrong because a housing crisis is not the same as the death rate. Option D is wrong because a change in area is not movement of people; migration means movement from one place to another. Memory cue: births, deaths and migration explain the change; service pressure may result from it.
