Topic: Natural resources

Introduction:

Natural resources are elements or goods provided by nature and found in the natural environment. These resources can be used to satisfy the vital needs of both man and other living beings. Natural resources depend on the balance of the ecosystems of planet Earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the planet Earth reaches its global capacity, there will be more loss of natural resources which will increase land degradation by extensive agriculture and exploitation of non-renewable resources. On the other hand, there will be more pollution and therefore greater burning of fossil fuels, which will increase global warming, increasing the speed of the spread of zoonotic diseases that could cause pandemics. All this could cause loss of biodiversity and as a consequence massive extensions.

We can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:

Less spread of disease
