What may happen to population if the death rate declines while the birth rate remains high?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population growth may accelerate

Population change depends partly on the balance between births and deaths. If the birth rate stays high while the death rate falls, the number of births is still large but fewer people die. The gap between births and deaths therefore becomes larger, assuming other relevant conditions do not offset it. This can raise natural increase and may make total population grow more quickly.

Thus option A is correct: population growth may accelerate. The word “may” is appropriate because migration, age structure, or other factors could affect the final total. The population will not automatically halve, natural increase will not become zero, and a lower death rate does not end migration. Those choices do not follow from the stated demographic change.
