If births are high and deaths are low in an area, what can population growth be like?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rapid

The correct answer is A: rapid. Natural increase depends mainly on the balance between births and deaths. When many people are born and relatively few people die, births exceed deaths, so the population can increase quickly, provided other factors do not offset the increase. Option A is correct because a large positive difference between births and deaths creates the possibility of rapid natural growth. Option B is wrong because zero growth would mean that additions and losses balance, which is not suggested by high births and low deaths. Option C is wrong because negative growth means losses exceed additions, the opposite of the stated birth-death pattern. Option D is wrong because births and deaths are directly related to population change. The word “can” is important: migration and the exact rates may also affect total population growth. Memory cue: high births plus low deaths creates a wide positive gap and usually points toward rapid natural increase.
