If a small area has high growth rate but low base population, which statement about absolute growth is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Absolute growth may be limited

The direct answer is A: absolute growth may be limited. A growth rate is a percentage of the starting population. If the starting population is small, even a high percentage may represent only a modest number of people. For example, 20% of 1,000 is 200, whereas 5% of 100,000 is 5,000. A is correct because the small base limits the actual number that can be added, despite the high rate. B is wrong because a percentage cannot make growth infinite. C is wrong because absolute growth is measurable by subtracting the old population from the new population. D is wrong because a positive high growth rate normally indicates an increase, not a necessary decline. Memory cue: always read both the rate and the base.
