The mushrooming population is leading towards high level destruction to nature.

Answer 2

The correct answer for your question is option (A) – 1 only.

The Aral Sea is the correct answer for your question. Aral Sea, which was once the fourth largest lakes of the world, is looking like a pond today. It has its basins in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Central Asia until 1989. When the two major river sources of the lake were diverted by the Soviet Union back in 1960s the lake started to shrink.
