What can a low population growth rate mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The population is increasing slowly or is nearly stable

Direct answer: A. A low population growth rate means that the yearly change is small compared with the population already present. The population may still increase, but it increases slowly; in some situations it may be nearly stable. To understand this, compare the change with the starting population rather than looking only at the number added. For example, adding a small number to a large population may produce a low percentage rate. Option A is correct because it describes slow increase or near stability. Option B is wrong because rapid increase indicates a high growth rate. Option C is wrong because doubling in a short period suggests rapid growth. Option D is wrong because adding a large number relative to the existing population also indicates a high rate. A low rate does not automatically mean that the population is falling; a decline would require a negative rate. Memory cue: low rate means slow change, not necessarily no change.
