Which option gives the correct way to compare population growth rates?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Comparing data with the same time period and the same definition

The direct answer is A. A fair comparison requires data that measure the same kind of change over the same length of time. First check that the starting and ending years, or the time interval, are comparable. Then check that both figures use the same population definition, geographic area, unit, and method of calculation. Option A is correct because these checks make the comparison meaningful. Option B is wrong because combining different decades without stating the periods can compare unlike intervals and hide changing trends. Option C is wrong because an absolute increase is a number of people, while a percentage is a relative measure based on a starting population. Option D is wrong because migration can be a real component of population change and should be included or excluded consistently, not automatically removed. Memory cue: same period, same definition, same area, then compare.
