If a state's growth rate is declining but its base population is very large, which conclusion about absolute growth is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Absolute growth can still be large

Correct answer: B. Growth rate is usually expressed as a percentage, while absolute growth is the actual number added to the population. A declining rate means that the percentage increase is becoming smaller, but it does not automatically mean that the number added is small or zero. For example, 1% of a population of 10 million is 100,000 people, which is still a large addition. Option B is correct because a large base can produce a large absolute increase even at a lower percentage. Option A is wrong because a declining rate is not the same as zero growth. Option C is wrong because the population declines only when the total change becomes negative, not merely when the rate falls. Option D is wrong because growth rate remains useful for comparing population change across places and periods. Memory cue: percentage tells the proportion; absolute growth tells the actual count.
