Question

Human population is rising at an alarming rate.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Human population throughout the world is rising at an alarming rate because of the decreasing death rate, increase in the birth rate, lack of family planning etc. Increase in population causes severe resource depletion and environmental degradation. Our resources like land, water, fossil fuels, minerals etc., are limited and due to over-exploitation, these resources are getting exhausted.
