What is the difference between slow growth and population decline?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In slow growth the number increases, while in decline the number decreases

Direct answer: A is correct. Slow growth means that the population is still increasing, but the increase is occurring at a lower rate than before. Population decline means that the total number is falling over time. The difference is therefore the direction of change, not simply the speed. A population can have births and deaths in both situations; the final result depends on the balance of births, deaths and migration. B is wrong because neither condition means a population of zero. C is wrong because deaths can occur during slow growth. D is the opposite of decline: if births were always higher than losses, the population would tend to grow. Memory cue: slow growth is a smaller plus sign; decline is a minus sign.
