Thomas Malthus concluded that the world's rate of population increase was higher than the development of food supplies. This means that population growth was outpacing the available resources in every country, according to algebraic calculations. In other words, Malthus believed that the population was increasing at a faster rate than the ability to produce enough food to sustain that population. He argued that this would eventually lead to food scarcity and population decline due to the imbalance between population growth and available resources. Malthus also suggested that "moral restraint," or the practice of limiting the number of children, could help lower crude birth rates and ease the strain on food resources. So, option three, "the world's rate of population increase was higher than the development of food supplies," would be the correct answer according to Malthus's conclusions.
