When the death rate declines and the birth rate remains high, what can population growth be like?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rapid

Direct answer: A, population growth can be rapid. To understand this, compare the two natural components of change: births add people and deaths remove people. If the birth rate remains high while the death rate declines, births are likely to exceed deaths by a considerable amount. This positive difference produces rapid natural increase, assuming migration does not reverse the overall trend. Option A is correct because it matches a large positive gap between births and deaths. Option B is wrong because negative growth would usually require deaths to exceed births, or strong outward migration. Option C is wrong because zero growth would require the relevant increases and decreases to balance. Option D is wrong because this situation is possible and commonly used to describe rapid growth. Memory cue: high births plus fewer deaths equals a wide positive gap and faster growth.
