If an area has high absolute growth but low growth rate what can be the most likely reason?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Initial population was very large

The correct answer is A: the initial population may have been very large. Absolute growth is the actual number added, while growth rate compares that change with the starting population. For example, an increase of 10,000 people is a small percentage when the starting population is one million, but it would be a very large percentage for a much smaller base. Thus a large population can show high numerical growth and a low percentage rate at the same time. A is correct because it explains the denominator effect. B is wrong because a zero starting population cannot support a normal percentage calculation. C is wrong because no change means zero absolute growth. D is wrong because migration is not necessarily stopped and cannot alone explain the relationship.
