Question
- A. Decreasing population
- B. Economic development
- C. Reduction in food prices
- D. Increased food waste
Answer
The correct answer is Economic development.
Explanation
The correct option is Economic development. Economic development is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain reasons for increasing food consumption including economic development and rising population. This belongs to Food (optional route) within Section C: The challenge of resource management, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Food (optional route), reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Economic Development Impact
Students often confuse economic development as the sole reason for increasing food consumption, neglecting the role of rising population.
To fix this, students should emphasize both economic development and rising population as key factors driving the increase in food consumption.
