Why does low decadal growth not always mean population decline?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because growth can be low but still positive

Direct answer: Option A. Growth describes the change in population over a particular period. A low positive growth rate means that the population is still increasing, but more slowly than before. A declining population requires negative growth, in which the later population is smaller than the earlier population. For example, a change from 10% growth to 2% growth shows slowing growth, not a decline; the population is still rising by 2% during the stated period. Option A is correct because it makes this essential distinction. Option B is wrong because decadal growth can be positive, zero, or negative; it is not always negative. Option C is wrong because the statement is about interpreting a growth measure, not about whether a census occurs. Option D is wrong because low growth does not mean that no people exist. Memory cue: slow increase is still increase; only a negative rate indicates decline.
