Question

How is the world population projected to change in the next few decades?
a.
It is projected to level off.
b.
It is projected to decrease steadily.
c.
It is projected to increase steadily.
d.
It is projected to double within 5 years.

Answer 1

c. It is projected to increase steadily.

Reason: UN projections show continued growth over the coming decades (roughly 8 billion now → about 9.7 billion by 2050), though the growth rate is slowing — not leveling off immediately, not decreasing, and certainly not doubling in five years.
