Question

Which of the following factors are responsible for controlling the population of human beings?

• A. Socio-economic factors
• B. Geographical factors
• C. Demographic factors
• D. All the above factors

Answer 1

The correct option is D All the above factors

Physical conditions, such as climate (temperature and rainfall), landforms in terms of altitudes, the quality of the soil, the availability of energy, and mine resources are the important geographical determinants of population distribution. Social and economic factors are more important than physical factors, and that, as society becomes more complex, these physical factors become less important in determining population distribution. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
