Question

choose the correct answer. why does an increasing population cause increased waste production? decreased food production each new person creates more waste each new person creates less waste decreased resource use

Explanation:

When the population increases, there are more individuals. Each person generally produces waste (like daily household waste, industrial waste if they work in relevant sectors etc.). So, more people mean more cumulative waste. Decreased food production is about food availability, not directly waste production. Each new person creating less waste would lead to decreased waste production (opposite of what the question asks). Decreased resource use also doesn't directly relate to increased waste production in the context of population growth.

Answer:

each new person creates more waste
