The correct answer is **a. the Agricultural Revolution**.
The Agricultural Revolution (also known as the Neolithic Revolution) marked a significant turning point in human history, as it involved the transition from nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to settled agricultural communities. This shift allowed for more stable food sources, which in turn supported larger populations.
While the Industrial Revolution (d) and advancements in medicine, including the discovery of antibiotics (b), contributed to population growth by improving living conditions and reducing mortality rates, the initial significant population increases can be traced back to the Agricultural Revolution. World War II (c) does not directly relate to the instigation of the population explosion.
