Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Land and other renewable resources are under pressure.

Overpopulation significantly strains land and renewable resources, leading to depletion and environmental degradation. To mitigate these pressures, sustainable land management practices should be implemented, including reforestation, crop rotation, and sustainable agriculture. Governments can promote family planning and education to control population growth. Investing in renewable energy sources can reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. Additionally, enhancing public transportation and urban planning can reduce land use and resource consumption. Community awareness programs about conservation and resource management are essential to foster a culture of sustainability for future generations.
