If a country's death rate is slightly higher than its birth rate but immigration is very high, what may happen to total population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total population may still increase

Total population change has two parts: natural change and net migration. Natural change is births minus deaths. If deaths slightly exceed births, natural change is negative. However, immigration adds people, and if immigration minus emigration is larger than the natural loss, the total population can still rise.

For example, a natural decrease of 1,000 combined with net immigration of 5,000 gives a total increase of 4,000. The exact outcome depends on the sizes of the two effects, so the population may increase, remain stable, or decrease. Among the choices, option A is the valid possibility. Option C is wrong because the natural increase remains negative.
