Options:
A .  Water table decreases
B .  Water table increases
C .  Water table is not dependent on population
D .  Water table will increase causing flood
Answer: Option A

With the increase in population, the demand for groundwater increases as every human being needs a minimum amount of water for his/her sustenance and daily activities. Thus, the water table eventually decreases.
However, we can adopt techniques such as rainwater harvesting to maintain the level of groundwater.
