If natural increase is negative but total growth is positive, which cause is most likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: High immigration

The direct answer is A: high immigration. Natural increase is calculated from births minus deaths. If it is negative, deaths exceed births, so the population would decrease without another factor. Total growth also includes net migration. A large inflow of people from other places can offset the natural decrease and make the total population increase. A is correct because immigration adds people to the area. B is wrong because high emigration removes people and would make total growth even lower. C is wrong because it describes continued natural decrease with no compensating movement. D is not sufficient to explain positive total growth; a zero birth rate would not add people, and the result would still depend on deaths and migration. The exact amount of immigration is not given, so “most likely” is appropriate. Memory cue: negative natural increase plus positive total growth points to a positive migration balance.
