Answer 1

Answer:

II. A decrease in the amount of land used for agricultural purposes

Explanation:

This expansion of cities results in the need for land and for this reason, cities end up occupying environmental areas or agricultural areas to be able to accommodate the entire population.

Based on this, we can say that if the country's population continues to grow 3.0% per year, there will be a decrease in the amount of land used for agricultural purposes.
