Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (A) Q and S
Explanation
For the same population, gross density divides by the larger area including supporting uses, so it is lower than net residential density (Q). With population held fixed, density N/A decreases as area increases (S). Thus A. The proportionality must be interpreted with the numerator fixed.
