In which situation can annual growth rate appear low despite high absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the base population is very large

Answer: A, when the base population is very large. Absolute growth is the actual numerical increase, whereas a growth rate compares that increase with the starting population. The basic relationship is growth rate = (increase ÷ base population) × 100. For example, an increase of 1 million may be large in number, but against a base of 100 million it is only 1%. The same increase against a base of 5 million would represent 20%. B may affect population change, but it does not explain the specific contrast between high absolute growth and a low rate. C is irrelevant to the denominator, and D makes the population-rate comparison meaningless rather than explaining a normal low rate. Memory cue: a large denominator can make a large increase look small in percentage terms.
