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 grow, the demand for water for residential, agricultural, and industrial purposes increases. This can lead to the over-extraction of groundwater, resulting in a decrease in the water table. When the water table drops, it can cause the ground above it to sink, resulting in land subsidence.
