If a country's population growth rate is positive but steadily declining, which conclusion is most accurate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population is still increasing but more slowly

A positive population growth rate means that the total population is still increasing. If the rate is steadily declining, the population is growing more slowly than before, but it has not necessarily started to fall. A negative rate would be needed to show a decrease, unless other information changed the interpretation. Therefore, choice A is the most accurate conclusion.

For example, a population growing at 2 percent is increasing faster than one growing at 1 percent, but both rates still produce an increase. A falling rate describes the changing speed of growth, not automatically a fall in population. The information does not prove that natural increase is zero or that migration is negative. Thus choices B, C, and D make claims that cannot be established from the given statement.
