If a country's death rate falls after health improvements and its birth rate begins to decline several years later, what is the likely sequence of population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rapid growth first followed by gradually slower growth

Population growth depends mainly on the balance between births and deaths, and migration may also matter. If health improvements reduce deaths before birth rates fall, the gap between births and deaths becomes larger. This produces faster natural increase for a period. Later, when birth rates also decline, the gap becomes smaller and growth slows.

Thus the likely sequence is an initial phase of rapid population growth followed by gradually slower growth. This is consistent with the demographic transition pattern described in the question. Option A is correct. Zero or negative growth is not the immediate result of a falling death rate when births are still relatively high.
