What generally happens to population growth when death rate increases?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth may slow down

Direct answer: A, population growth may slow down. Death rate is the number of deaths in a population during a particular period. Deaths remove people from the population, so a rise in deaths reduces the difference between births and deaths. For example, if births remain 1,000 but deaths rise from 400 to 700, natural increase falls from 600 to 300. The final population also depends on migration, so the careful word “may” is important. Option A is correct because higher mortality generally reduces the speed of natural population growth. Option B is wrong because deaths do not normally make growth faster. Option C is wrong because population counting continues even when deaths increase. Option D is wrong because death rate and migration are different demographic processes; one does not automatically end the other. Memory cue: births add to natural increase, while deaths subtract from it.
