Why can judging growth only from a high birth rate be misleading when a country also has a high death rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Natural increase depends on the difference between births and deaths

A high birth rate adds people, but population growth depends on the balance between births and deaths rather than on births alone. Natural increase is calculated as births minus deaths. Therefore, a country with both high birth and high death rates may have a small natural increase, a large natural increase, or even a decline, depending on the difference between the two rates.

For example, 30 births and 28 deaths per thousand give natural increase of only 2 per thousand. Thus the high birth rate by itself does not show rapid growth. Option A is correct because it states that natural increase depends on the difference between births and deaths. The other choices either confuse mortality with migration or make claims that are not generally true.
