Which option correctly shows the difference between falling growth rate and falling population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population can still grow if the growth rate remains positive

Answer: A. A falling growth rate means that the speed or percentage of increase is lower than before; it does not necessarily mean that the population itself is falling. For example, a population growing at 3% and later at 1% is still increasing, although more slowly, because 1% is positive. Population falls only when the relevant growth rate is negative, or when losses such as deaths and out-migration exceed additions. Option A is correct because it clearly separates a lower positive rate from a decrease in population. Option B is incorrect because a lower rate does not make the population zero. Option C is incorrect because the two ideas are not always equal. Option D is incorrect because rates are measured over a time period. Memory cue: lower positive growth is still growth; negative growth means decline.
