No information about "Quality of life" is given in the statement. So it can not be suddenly imported in conclusion.

Exactly, now how come we have to include our sense of knowledge here and can't stick to the statements mentioned here. There is nowhere written that depleting resources will effect life here. It is our own knowledge that it could happen, and if we are considering our knowledge then there are multiple solutions to this problem.
Main thing is when do we decide that we have to stick to the statements mentioned and when to use our knowledge. This is very confusing. Please make this clear.

The statement is about population and resources and has nothing to do with the quality of life. II is incorrect because, in spite of the increase in population and depletion of resources, the government can still provide a good quality of life. So the right answer should be "D".
