Answer 1

The correct option is A More population results in increased use of food, water, fuel and land

Increase in human population has resulted in the destruction of forests and wildlife.

This is because with an increase in population, food, water fuel and land requirements increase to feed the masses, to fulfil the energy requirements and to live respectively. Due to this, deforestation is done and consequently, animals lose their habitat and many species die in the process.
