Question

one social issue often facing developing countries is
○ democratic rule is easily obtainable.
○ reluctance to accept change.
○ a shortage of natural resources.
○ very high population growth.

Explanation:

• "democratic rule is easily obtainable" is incorrect as developing countries often struggle with establishing democratic systems.
• "reluctance to accept change" is more associated with some traditional societies but not a primary social issue of developing countries.
• "a shortage of natural resources" is not a defining social issue for most developing countries (many have abundant resources but face issues in utilization or distribution).
• "very high population growth" is a common social issue in developing countries, as high birth rates and limited resources to support the growing population create challenges like strain on infrastructure, education, and healthcare.

Answer:

D. very high population growth
