Which option shows a wrong understanding of growth rate and absolute increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The same percentage always gives the same absolute increase

Correct answer: D. Absolute increase depends on both the percentage rate and the base population. For example, 2% of 100,000 is 2,000, while 2% of 1,000 is only 20. Therefore, the same percentage does not always add the same number of people. Option A is correct because a small rate applied to a very large population can produce a large numerical increase. Option B is correct because absolute increase means the actual difference between two population totals. Option C is correct because a rate expresses change in percentage terms and helps compare populations of different sizes. Option D is wrong because it ignores the base. Memory cue: percentage tells the proportion; the base tells the number added.
