Which option gives the correct difference between declining growth rate and declining population?

Answer and explanation

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

The direct answer is A. A growth rate describes the speed and direction of population change, while population size is the actual number of people. Suppose a population grows at 3% and later grows at 1%. The rate has declined, but 1% is still positive, so the population continues to increase, only more slowly. The population begins to decline when the net growth rate becomes negative, such as when deaths and out-migration together exceed births and in-migration. Option B confuses slower growth with actual decline. Option C treats two different ideas as identical. Option D is wrong because growth rates are measured over a period of time. Memory cue: a smaller positive number still means increase; a negative number means decrease.
