If a city's growth is driven mainly by net migration, which statement about births and deaths is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Births may even be approximately equal to deaths

Population change has two broad parts: natural increase, which is births minus deaths, and net migration, which is people entering minus people leaving. If births and deaths are nearly equal, natural increase may be close to zero. The city can still grow if net migration is strongly positive, meaning many more people arrive than depart.

Therefore option A is correct. The wording says growth is mainly driven by net migration, so it does not require births to be unusually high. Births can be approximately equal to deaths while incoming migrants add substantially to the city’s population. The other choices use absolute words such as “always” or incorrectly claim that births or the birth rate disappear.
