What does slow population growth mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population is increasing but at a low rate

Slow population growth means that the number of people is still increasing, but the increase happens at a relatively low rate. A population can add people every year while growing slowly. This differs from zero growth, where additions and losses balance, and from decline, where the total number falls. Births, deaths, and migration together influence the actual change.

Option B is correct because it says that population is increasing at a low speed or rate. Option A incorrectly says that slow growth must mean decline, option C treats slow growth as complete stability, and option D ignores births and migration. For example, a population rising from 1,000,000 to 1,005,000 is growing, even though the increase is small. The adjective “slow” describes the rate, not the direction.
