If the birth rate falls while the death rate remains nearly unchanged, what generally happens to population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth rate falls

Population growth from natural change depends mainly on the difference between births and deaths. If the death rate stays nearly the same but the birth rate falls, fewer people are being added while roughly the same number are being removed. The gap between births and deaths therefore becomes smaller, so the natural growth rate generally declines.

Option B is correct. Population may still increase for some time if births remain greater than deaths, but it will grow more slowly. If migration is included, migration can alter the total change, yet the question asks about the general effect of the birth-rate decline. Option A reverses the relationship, C ignores the changed birth rate, and D is an unsupported immediate result.
