Solution
The correct option is C Sustainable development
Overpopulation leads to an increase in the population, which results in demand for more food and shelter. Similarly, industrialisation has led to increased extraction of ores, minerals, crude oil, and even water. Urbanisation results in large populations living in concentrated pockets, leading to a huge demand for resources and subsequent waste generation. On the other hand, sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
