The human population has grown more and more quickly over time since the development of agriculture.

Option (a);

EXPLANATION:

The growth in agriculture allowed an increase in population over time. Agriculture developed with more irrigation facilities and farming machines. So, more food could be grown and was available round the year for the people to consume. With urbanization, food could be transported well across the places. A smaller number of people died due to starvation. People settled in towns and cities to do farming. Thus, with the overall development of agriculture eventually, health and nutrition improved which led to an increase in population.
