What does absolute population growth show?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The actual difference between the populations at two times

The direct answer is A: absolute population growth shows the actual difference between the populations at two times. “Absolute” means the actual numerical amount, not a percentage or rate. To calculate it, subtract the earlier population from the later population: absolute growth = later population − earlier population. For example, if a town has 20,000 people at one time and 23,000 later, its absolute growth is 3,000 people. Option A is correct because it describes this difference. Option B concerns measurement of distance or area and has no connection with population change. Option C is not a population measure at all. Option D may describe cultural diversity, but it does not show how many people were added or lost. Do not confuse absolute growth with growth rate: absolute growth is a number of people, whereas a rate commonly expresses change relative to the earlier population, often as a percentage. Memory cue: absolute growth answers “how many people changed?”
