- The graph shows the worldwide human population from 1950 to 2050. Data for the future years are predictions. According to the ideas of Thomas Malthus, what are the predicted changes to the human population after 2050? A. The population would continue to increase at the same rate, due to constant food supplies. B. The population would increase more rapidly, due to advances in technology. C. Eventually the population would stop increasing or would decrease, due to lack of food and living space. D. Eventually the population would decrease to zero, because of war, famine, or disease.arrow_forwardA kid let go 8 snails he bought at the pet store in a pond.
