Why can it be wrong to understand population growth only through birth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because death rate and migration also change population

The direct answer is A: death rate and migration also change population. Births add people, but deaths remove people, so the difference between births and deaths determines natural increase. Migration is another component: in-migration adds people to an area, while out-migration removes them. Therefore, looking only at birth rate gives an incomplete picture. For example, a high birth rate may be accompanied by a high death rate, producing only a small natural increase; or many people may leave or enter the area and change its total population. Option A is correct because it identifies the missing factors. Option B is wrong because birth rate is still an important population measure. Option C is wrong because population can change through births, deaths, and migration. Option D is wrong because migration is not always zero. Memory cue: to understand growth, check births, deaths, and movement of people together.
