The correct answer is option D, but I chose option B, can anyone please explain?
Hint: It’s a double possibility question.
Please explain why B would be correct and why D would be incorrect.
Could you please explain why this is Double Possibility?
I was thinking more of infinite possibility
Yeah you’re right. It’s a super challenging question actually.

(C) spending on … concealing → If we need to spend more on vegetable foods to support a growing pop, we need to decrease the number of people: estimating doesn’t convey this
(D) recourse to … limiting → If we need to depend on vegetable foods to support a growing pop, we need to decrease the number of people: limit does convey this
