If birth rate decreases but immigration increases in an area, what can happen to total growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Total growth may still continue

The direct answer is A: total growth may still continue. A decrease in birth rate can reduce natural increase, assuming other conditions remain similar. However, immigration brings people into the area and can add to its total population. If the number of incoming people is large enough, it may partly or fully balance the lower natural increase, so the total population can still grow. The exact result depends on the sizes of births, deaths, and migration; the word “may” is important. Option A is correct because it allows for continued growth through immigration. Option B is wrong because growth is not automatically zero. Option C is wrong because immigration directly adds residents. Option D is wrong because a fall in birth rate and a rise in immigration do not automatically cause deaths to rise. Memory cue: a lower birth rate does not by itself determine total growth; migration must also be considered.
