Which option gives the correct meaning of absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Numerical difference between population of two times

Direct answer: A is correct. Absolute growth is the actual numerical change in population between two points of time. To find it, subtract the earlier population from the later population: absolute growth = later population − earlier population. If a place has 20,000 people at the first census and 23,000 at the next, its absolute growth is 3,000 people. This measure may be positive when population increases, negative when it decreases, or zero when there is no change. A is therefore the exact definition. B is wrong because population divided by area gives population density, not absolute growth. C is wrong because birth rate counts births in relation to population or time and does not include the full population change. D is wrong because death rate measures deaths and also does not represent the difference between two population totals. Memory cue: absolute growth is a subtraction of two population totals; density is population divided by area.
