Answer: (c) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

The size, growth, density and quality (literacy, skills, health) of the population decide the labour supply, demand and productivity of a region. A skilled, healthy population speeds up development, while a fast-growing, poor and illiterate population slows it down. In turn, development improves the quality of population. Since population influences development, the two are closely interrelated.
