Which option gives the correct difference between growth rate and absolute increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth rate gives a percentage comparison, and absolute increase gives the actual number

Direct answer: B. Absolute increase is the actual numerical change in population. It is found by subtracting the earlier population from the later population. Growth rate expresses that change as a percentage in relation to the earlier population, allowing comparisons between places or periods of different sizes. For example, an increase of 100 people is an absolute increase; whether that is 10% or 1% depends on the starting population. Option A reverses the meanings. Option B is correct because it distinguishes percentage comparison from actual number. Option C is wrong because migration is only one possible component of population change. Option D is wrong because neither term measures physical area. Memory cue: “absolute” means the actual number added; “rate” means the relative percentage or speed of change.
