If an area has a low birth rate but an even lower death rate and high immigration, how can its total population growth be described?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It can be moderate or positive

The correct answer is B: total growth can be moderate or positive. Natural increase is found by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. Even if the birth rate is low, a still lower death rate creates a positive natural increase. In addition, immigration brings people into the area and adds positive net migration. Together, positive natural increase and high immigration can produce moderate or even high total growth. Option A is wrong because the area is not forced to have negative growth. Option B is correct because it considers both natural change and migration. Option C is wrong because population change can be calculated when the relevant data are available. Option D is wrong because total growth does not depend only on area. Cue: low birth rate does not automatically mean population decline; compare births with deaths and then include migration.
