What effect does a low population growth rate have on doubling time?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Doubling time increases

Doubling time is the period required for a population to become twice its present size. When the growth rate is low, population adds new members more slowly. Consequently, reaching an amount equal to the starting population takes longer than it would at a higher growth rate.

Thus, a low growth rate produces a longer doubling time, so option C is correct. In a simple approximation, doubling time is inversely related to the annual growth rate, often expressed through the Rule of 70. The statement that doubling time always remains the same is wrong because it changes when the growth rate changes.
