In which situation can total population keep increasing even when growth rate declines?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When growth rate remains positive but becomes lower than before

Answer: A. A declining growth rate does not necessarily mean a declining population. It may mean that the population is still increasing, but at a slower speed. For example, a population growing at 3% and then at 1% is still growing in the second period because 1% is positive; it is simply adding people more slowly than before. A is correct because it separates the direction of change from its speed. B is wrong because a negative rate generally indicates population decline, all else being interpreted consistently. C is wrong because zero births and zero in-migration do not ensure growth, and deaths or out-migration may reduce the population. D is wrong because deaths greatly exceeding births tend to produce negative natural increase. Memory cue: positive but smaller means slower growth, not automatic decline.
