If a country's growth rate is falling but total population is rising, which conclusion is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: वृद्धि दर अभी भी धनात्मक हो सकती है

The direct answer is A. A falling growth rate means that the speed of increase is becoming smaller; it does not necessarily mean that the rate has become negative. For example, a growth rate may fall from 3% to 2% and then to 1%, while the population still rises each year. The total continues to increase as long as the growth rate remains positive. Option A is correct because it separates the direction of the rate from the direction of the population total. Option B is wrong because a declining rate is not the same as a declining population. Population decline requires a zero or negative net change, depending on the situation. Option C is unsupported: the information given does not tell us whether migration has stopped. Option D is wrong because births and deaths are important components of population change and are related to the growth rate. The common confusion is between “the rate is decreasing” and “the population is decreasing.” Memory cue: a positive rate that is getting smaller still adds population; only a negative rate indicates decline, all else being interpreted consistently.
