Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth of human population will lead to the increased consumption of land. The human population will need land for the construction of buildings, offices, malls, roads et cetera.

More of the agricultural land will be converted into developed land as the human population will increase. The conversion of agricultural land into offices, buildings, houses is known as land development.

The amount of the developed land will increase as the population of human beings will increase.
