Use the graph to answer the question.

A line graph shows the relationship between population and resources for the years 2000 through projected use in 2100.

The horizontal axis is labeled Year, ranging from 2000 to 2100 in increments of 25 years. The vertical axis is labeled population and resources (units), ranging from 0 to 16 in increments of 2 units. Two lines are plotted. The line representing Population starts at (2000, 1.1) and rises concave up toward (2050, 3.8), and ends at (2100, 15). The line representing Resources starts at (2000, 0.90) and rises concave up toward (2037.5, 2), and ends at (2100, 4.5). Note: All values are approximate.
The top line of this graph depicts population and the bottom line depicts resources.
Which of the following BEST expresses the projected relationship between population and resources for the time period of 2025–2100? Assume each unit equals 1 billion.

Evidence: the population line rises much more steeply (to about 15 billion by 2100) while resources only rise to about 4.5 billion, so population growth far outpaces resource availability.
