• C. There would be lack of education and healthcare facilities.
• D. The quality of population would be better.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The quality of population would be better.

An increase in urban population would lead to an increase in industrialisation. People will get more employment opportunities and their level of income will also increase. This will result in higher literacy due to access to education facilities, high life expectancy due to access to healthcare facilities, and a favourable sex ratio. The quality of population would increase.
