Answer 1

A. Pressure from a growing population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem of population growth further gave to new social and political problems like poverty, unemployment and food crises. China with the highest population in the world is already fighting it with family planning policy and an increase in food production. The regions of Africa have contained about 30 percent of the world's hungry population. Measures were talking to for a replacement-level fertility rate, reducing food waste and increasing food productivity.
