Answer 1

Answer:

B. Improved health care, hygiene, and technology

Explanation:

I think that an improved health care system and technologies is helping to reduce the growth of various diseases, the emergence of new treatments and new drugs, which has an impact on the growth of the population.

Answer 2

Hello! We can instantly cancel out A as you should already know we’re using natural resources too fast for them to increase. Whilst C is correct, it isn’t the answer you want as inflation is also increasing. D is correct too but again, not the answer you want as it doesn’t prevent babies from infant death. B is the correct answer as improved health care and hygiene allows for a better chance of the baby surviving, more chance of the pregnancy being healthy and more chance of mother surviving the birth.
