If birth rate is lower than death rate and net migration is also negative, how will total growth be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Negative

The direct answer is B: total growth will be negative. Population change depends mainly on natural change and net migration. Natural change equals births minus deaths. Here, the birth rate is lower than the death rate, so natural change is negative: more people die than are born. Net migration is also negative, meaning more people leave the area than enter it. Both effects reduce the population, so total growth is negative. Option A is wrong because neither component adds people. Option C is wrong because the two negative effects do not cancel; they work in the same direction. Option D is wrong because the information is sufficient to identify the direction of growth, even without exact numbers. Memory cue: births minus deaths plus net migration; two negative terms usually mean decline.
