Which option correctly differentiates slow growth and negative growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In slow growth, population increases but at a low rate; in negative growth, population decreases

Correct answer: A. Slow growth means that the total population is still increasing, but the increase is small in relation to the population or compared with an earlier period. Negative growth means that the total population is decreasing; this can happen when deaths and out-migration together exceed births and in-migration. B confuses slow positive growth with zero growth, which means stability when other components are balanced. C is wrong because equal births and deaths describe zero natural increase, not necessarily slow growth, and negative growth can occur despite deaths being present, not absent. D reverses the meanings and uses impossible absolute claims. First identify the sign: positive means increase, zero means no net change, and negative means decrease. Memory cue: slow is still plus; negative is minus.
