If a country has both a low death rate and a similarly low birth rate, what may natural increase be like?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Low

Natural increase is the difference between the birth rate and the death rate, without considering migration. If both rates are low and close to one another, only a small excess of births over deaths exists. Consequently, the natural increase is low. A low death rate by itself could support growth, but the birth rate must also be considered.

Here, the question says that both rates are similarly low. Their small difference means the natural increase is likely to be low, so option B is correct. It is not necessarily negative, because births may still be slightly higher than deaths. It is also not very high or automatically doubled; those conclusions are unsupported by the information given.
