Societies that rely on external control are less likely to have low unemployment rates.

Societies that rely on external control are more likely to be independent of water and biomass resources.

Explanation

A society that relies on external control may be less stable if its larger scale makes sustainable resource use harder to maintain. This matches choice A: these societies are less likely to maintain sustainable practices due to their larger size. The other choices describe features that would generally support stability, such as self-regulation or independence from key resources.
