Solution

The correct option is C having increased

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action , or state. It is the grammatical centre of the predicate in a sentence.

Option C is the correct as the action of increase in Moscow's population has led to a housing shortage and tells us that the population has already increased (the action is already completed ).

The other options are incorrect as the action is not in a continuation, in the long gone past, and the two different sentences are joined together by the clause of reason (as).

The correct option is C)having increased.


The correct option is A)
