Solution
The correct option is D Overpopulation
Overpopulation leads to an increase in 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 tends to result in large populations living in concentrated pockets, leading to a huge demand for resources and subsequent waste generation.
On the other hand, sustainability refers to the ability to meet our needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
