If a country's total growth rate is positive but continuously declining, which long-term direction becomes more likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth may slow toward population stability

A positive growth rate means that the population is still increasing, because additions remain greater than losses overall. If the positive rate continuously declines, the population is increasing more slowly each period. If this pattern continues, the rate may approach zero, leading toward population stability rather than rapid expansion.

Therefore, option A is the most reasonable long-term direction. A declining positive rate does not mean that the population immediately doubles; doubling depends on the size and duration of growth. It also does not automatically become high again, and population growth has no necessary connection with the physical land area shrinking. The statement describes a likely demographic trend, not an absolute guarantee about every future year.
