If the population growth rate is declining but the total population is increasing, which statement is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population is increasing but the pace is slowing

Direct answer: Option A is correct. A growth rate tells us the speed of change, while total population tells us the actual number of people. A declining rate can still be positive. For example, a population may grow by 3% in one period and 2% in the next; it is still increasing, but more slowly. Option B is wrong because the population declines only when the relevant net change becomes negative, not merely because the rate has fallen. Option C is wrong because an increasing population can include births, deaths and migration; a lower rate does not mean births are zero. Option D is also unsupported: a falling rate does not prove that death rate is always higher. Memory cue: falling growth rate means slower growth, not automatically negative growth.
