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 increases for drinking, agriculture, and industrial use. This increased demand can lead to excessive groundwater extraction, which in turn causes the water table to drop and can result in land subsidence.
