If a city has high in-migration and low natural increase, what will be the main source of its population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Migration

Direct answer: Option A, migration. Population change has two important components: natural increase, which is births minus deaths, and migration, which is the movement of people into or out of an area. If a city has low natural increase but many people are moving into it, the incoming migrants add directly to the city’s population. Therefore, in-migration becomes the main source of growth. Option A is correct because it matches the condition stated in the question. Option B is wrong because deaths reduce population rather than increase it. Option C is wrong because the physical area of a city does not itself add people, although it may affect capacity and density. Option D is wrong because rainfall is not a direct demographic component of population change. Rainfall may influence livelihoods, but it is not the stated source here. Memory cue: population change equals natural increase plus net migration; when natural increase is low and inflow is high, migration leads.
