If natural increase is zero but net migration is positive, what will happen to total population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It will increase

Population change has two main components: natural increase and net migration. Natural increase is births minus deaths. If natural increase is zero, births and deaths balance each other, so they produce no net change in population. Net migration is the difference between people entering and people leaving. A positive net migration value means more people enter than leave.

Therefore, even though births and deaths cancel out, the incoming migrants add people to the country. The total population will increase, so option C is correct. It cannot be described as immediately doubling, because no size or time information supports that claim. It would remain unchanged only if net migration were also zero, and it would decline if net migration were negative. The supplied answer is accurate.
