The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Census data show that the human population

doubled from 2.65 billion in 1953 to 5.3 billion

in 1990. If it continues to double at this rate,

the human population could reach 10 billion

by the year 2020. Which BEST explains how

this rate of human growth can harm the

environment on which humans depend?

A. by gradually making up more available energy

B. by using resources faster than they can be

replaced

C. by changing how matter cycles through an

ecosystem

D. by increasing the variety of ecosystems that are

by using resources faster than they can be

replaced

Explanation:

As population of the world continues to grow, there is greater demands for resources which are obtained from the environment such as crude oil for energy, solid minerals for various applications, wood for furniture etc.

Demand for these materials increase exponentially as population increases thus they are extracted at a faster rate than nature can replace them. This will eventually harm the environment on which humans depend as population increases.

Answer from: alishastevens16

by using resources faster than they can be replaced

Explanation:

More people require more resources, which means that as the population increases, the Earth's resources deplete more rapidly. The result of this depletion is deforestation and loss of biodiversity as humans strip the Earth of resources to accommodate rising population numbers.
