If a country's birth rate is steadily declining but still remains above its death rate, which conclusion is most appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population may still grow but more slowly

Natural increase depends on whether the birth rate is higher or lower than the death rate. Here the birth rate is declining, but it still remains above the death rate. Births therefore continue to exceed deaths, so the natural increase remains positive. The gap may become smaller, which means the population grows more slowly rather than immediately falling.

Option C is correct. A declining birth rate does not automatically mean a declining population; the comparison with the death rate is decisive. Option A ignores the continuing positive difference, while B wrongly says growth must accelerate. Option D also overlooks that a positive natural increase itself changes population, even before migration is considered.
