Which option correctly states the use of percentage in comparing population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Making comparison easier between populations of different sizes

Correct answer: A. Percentage expresses a change in relation to the original population. This is useful because two places may add different numbers of people and begin with very different population sizes. For example, an increase of 10,000 is a much larger relative change for a population of 50,000 than for a population of 10 lakh. Calculating percentage growth places the changes on a comparable scale. B is wrong because percentage growth does not remove or ignore area; area is relevant to density, not eliminated by this calculation. C and D describe unrelated biological or migration changes. A percentage is a comparison tool, not a way to change the population process itself.
