In Malthus' Basic Theory, the "point of crisis" is defined as **when population size > resources**. This is the point at which the population exceeds the carrying capacity of the environment, leading to potential famine, disease, and other checks on population growth. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**when population size > resources**.
**when population size > resources**.
