Solution

The correct options are
A Overpopulation
B Traffic
D Crimes
A lot of migrant workers who move to the city are from the economically weaker sections of the society. Since they cannot afford expensive housing and facilities, they often settle down in the slums. This leads to overpopulation. Another problem is many people commute to work by vehicles which cause traffic jams. This also leads to pollution. However, not all people find employment and turn to crime and other illegal activities.
