Solution:
The above assertion is true. The population (the total number of people living in a specific location, such as a city, state, or country) is the most important aspect of social studies. It serves as the baseline against which all other elements are measured. Because humans are both producers and consumers of resources, knowledge regarding a country's population, such as its size and distribution, is critical. The above-given reason is true and is a correct explanation. The population is the pivotal element in social studies as it is the point of reference from which all other components are analyzed and from which they derive significance and meaning. Everything from ‘Resources’ to ‘calamities’ and ‘disasters’ is meaningful only when they are associated with human beings.
