Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, study island said so. However, we can also use the process of elimination:

-It cannot be C or D because we know that new crops would generally lead to better food sources, instead of introducing diseases.

-It cannot be A because the question says "WORLD" populations, not local populations.
