Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Marx argued that the problem of overpopulation is specific to capitalism because he believed that capitalism creates a surplus population through the exploitation and impoverishment of the working class, leading to overpopulation and unemployment. He also argued that with the elimination of capitalism, the problem of overpopulation would no longer exist.
