Juliette Sullivan · Answer 1

Rapid population growth can result in "increases in the infant mortality rate" if there is a "shortage of clean water and food".

Explanation:

Rapid population growth would eventually lead to a "shortage of clean food and water". The survival of infant is dependent on its growth in the early few days. If the infant fails to develop immunity towards various diseases and disorders due to a shortage of clean food and water, it becomes vulnerable to death. Thus, a shortage of clean water and food can result in increase of infant mortality rate.
