Question

With the human population increasing at a tremendous rate, identify the reason due to which we need to manage our resources carefully?

• A. Increase in demand for resources
• B. Increase in pollution
• C. Resources are not unlimited
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All the above

We need to use our resources carefully because these are not unlimited and with the human population increasing at a tremendous rate due to improvement in health care, the demand for resources is increasing at an exponential rate. Also, as the consumption of fossil fuels like petroleum and coal are ever increasing, the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere needs to be controlled as it causes threat to living organisms.
