If death rate rises but birth rate is still higher, how will natural increase be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Positive

The direct answer is B: natural increase will be positive. Natural increase is calculated as birth rate minus death rate. The question says that the death rate has risen, but the birth rate is still higher than the death rate. Therefore, after subtracting deaths from births, the result remains greater than zero. For example, if births were 20 per thousand and deaths were 12 per thousand, natural increase would be 8 per thousand, which is positive. Option A is wrong because natural increase is negative only when the death rate is higher than the birth rate. Option B is correct because births still exceed deaths. Option C is wrong because the rates are not equal. Option D is wrong because the information is sufficient to identify the sign of the result, even though exact numbers are not given. Memory cue: birth rate greater than death rate means positive natural increase.
