The one that could affect human population would be :

A. Deadly virus emerges that can pass from human to human.
This will greatly decrease the amount of human population

C. Nuclear war breaks out between two nations
This will kill a lot of people and also potentially creating genetic mutations for the next generation

D. Immigration to united states from china increases
This will make it harder for the population to get the resources that they need for their living

hope this helps

Answer:

A) A deadly virus emerges that can pass from human to human.

C) A nuclear war breaks out between two nations.

D) Immigration to the United States from China increases.

Explanation:

I think these two options are the ones that could change in a direct way human population.

It has been shown that illnesses can become pandemics, meaning that they can be spread to large amounts of people around the world killing great part of them. An example is the Bubonic plague in the middle-age Europe, this epidemic killed one-third of the continent population. Although medicines and vaccines have developed since, globalization has become an important factor, a disease that could take months to go from one place to another can now spread rapidly.

Consequences of nuclear war have been shown, they can kill thousands of people in just a few minutes and leave horrible aftermath. The Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombs killed around 105,000 people instantly. If the number of bombs increased, the casualties could be of millions.

Although the immigration could affect the population, it is a very common human behaviour and it's impact could take years or generations to be seen. The new style of life, the resources needed, the policies, everything could affect it.
