In which situation can the growth rate decline while the total population still keeps increasing?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the growth rate remains positive but lower than before

Answer: A is correct. A positive population growth rate means that the population is still increasing. If the rate falls from, for example, a higher positive value to a lower positive value, the population continues to grow, but more slowly than before. This is the difference between a declining growth rate and a declining population. B is wrong because a negative rate generally means the population is decreasing, assuming the measure includes the relevant components. C is wrong because zero births and deaths would not by themselves describe all possible population change, since migration may occur, and they do not explain the stated situation. D is wrong because stopping the count does not stop real population change. Memory cue: positive but smaller means slower growth, not immediate decline.
