In 1798 Thomas Malthus argued that populations grew exponentially while food supplies grew arithmetically. Consequently, Malthus argued that food shortages would develop until famine and other checks slowed population growth. What statement correctly explains why Malthus’ prediction did not come true in 1800s Europe?
A) Urbanization resulted in smaller household sizes, and the mechanization of agriculture increased food production.
B) Immigration to Europe and the abolition of slavery resulted in a more productive agricultural labor force.
C) Rising education levels among women and increased numbers of single-person households reduced fertility and the demand for food.
D) Anti Natalist population policies placed limits on the number of children per family and reduced the demand for food.
E) Global trade in manufactured food products increased the food supply and offset the demand for food.
