The correct answer is - D. More land will be used for agriculture.

If the human population continues to grow, than that means that there will be more mouths to feed in the world, so a larger amount of food will be needed so that malnutrition and starvation are avoided. To have more food, the agriculture will have to produce more, and for producing more it needs more land for production, thus more land will be used for agricultural production.
