• B. Directly proportional to industrial development
• C. Inversely proportional to education
• D. Directly proportional to the use of drugs

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Inversely proportional to education

The rate of human population growth is inversely proportional to Education.

Lack of education in certain parts of the world leads to population explosion, Educated people understand the harms which a high population growth rate possesses. Educating people, especially women can be one of the cures in controlling population.

The population of India shows the same trend as well, the number was 238 million in 1901 and it is 1.2 Billion in 2011. We represent 17.9% of the population in the world and one of the reasons is the lack of education especially in rural areas. Hence, the correct answer is option C.
