If births and deaths are equal but immigration is very high in an area, why will total population increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because net migration is positive

The direct answer is B: net migration is positive. Natural increase equals births minus deaths. Since births and deaths are equal, natural increase is zero. However, immigration means people enter the area. If immigration is greater than any out-migration, net migration becomes positive, and this adds people to the existing population. Thus total population can increase even though natural increase is not positive. Option A is wrong because equal births and deaths produce zero natural increase. Option C is the opposite of the given condition and would create natural decrease. Option D is wrong because an increase in land area does not itself add residents. Memory cue: total change = births − deaths + immigration − emigration; balanced births and deaths do not cancel migration.
