If deaths are more than births, what can natural increase be like?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Negative

Direct answer: A, negative. Natural increase is calculated by subtracting deaths from births. When deaths are greater than births, the result is below zero, so the natural increase is negative and the population may decline naturally. For example, if there are 80 births and 100 deaths, the natural increase is 80 − 100 = −20. A is correct because it follows this calculation. B is wrong because no doubling rule exists. C is the opposite of the result when deaths exceed births. D is wrong because the population is not necessarily growing rapidly; it may be shrinking. Migration is a separate factor and is not included in natural increase. Memory cue: more deaths than births means a minus sign.
