A country's population is growing rapidly. Which statement cannot be concluded with certainty from this information alone?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth occurred only because of a high birth rate

Rapid population growth tells us that the total number of people is increasing and that the growth rate is positive. It may also create greater demand for schools, housing, health care, water, transport, and other services, although the size of that demand depends on population structure and planning. However, the statement alone does not identify the exact sources of growth.

Population can rise through natural increase, net in-migration, or a combination of both. Therefore, option D cannot be concluded with certainty: rapid growth need not result only from a high birth rate. Option A follows directly from the meaning of growth, and B is also implied because the rate is positive. C uses “may,” so it is a reasonable possible consequence rather than an absolute claim. The supplied answer is correct and appropriately distinguishes evidence from assumption.
