If the birth rate is low but the reproductive-age group is very large, what is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The total number of births may still be high

The correct answer is A. A birth rate is a rate or proportion, while the total number of births is an actual count. Suppose a low rate applies to a very large number of people in the reproductive-age group. Even a small proportion of a large group can produce many births. Therefore, total births may remain high for some time. Option A correctly distinguishes rate from number. Option B is wrong because a low rate is not the same as zero births. Option C is unrelated; birth rate does not automatically determine the death rate. Option D is too definite because population also depends on deaths and migration, and it may not decline immediately. Memory cue: low rate does not always mean low total number when the base population is large.
