Solution

The correct answer is c. "We will cross the earth’s carrying capacity". If the population grows unchecked, it means that the number of people will continue to increase without any control measures. This can lead to overpopulation, which can exceed the earth's carrying capacity. The earth's carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of individuals of a species that the environment can sustain indefinitely. If the population exceeds this capacity, it can lead to environmental degradation and depletion of resources. Therefore, unchecked population growth can potentially lead to crossing the earth's carrying capacity.
