Read the passage from "The Book of Martha.” "You believe the population problem is the worst one, then?" God asked.

"I think so," she said. "Too many people. If we solve that one, we'll have more time to solve other problems. And we can't solve it on our own. We all know about it, but some of us won't admit it. And nobody wants some big government authority telling them how many kids to have." She glanced at God and saw that he seemed to be listening politely. She wondered how far he would let her go. What might offend him. What might he do to her if he were offended? "So everyone's reproductive system shuts down after two kids," she said. "I mean, they get to live as long as before, and they aren't sick. They just can't have kids anymore."

"They'll try," God said. "The effort they put into building pyramids, cathedrals, and moon rockets will be as nothing to the effort they'll put into trying to end what will seem to them a plague of barrenness.”

Which statement best describes the moral dilemma at this point in the story?

Martha needs to figure out how to shut down people’s reproductive systems after two kids.
If Martha decides to limit people to having two kids, they will still do whatever they can to have more.
Martha needs to figure out whether population growth is going to be a problem.
