The correct response is:
Land subsidence happens when the increased demand for water causes the levels of the water table to lower.
As human populations increase, the demand for water for drinking, sanitation, and agricultural needs rises. Over-extraction of groundwater can lead to a decline in the water table, which can result in the compaction of soil and rocks, causing the land surface to sink or subside.
