In which situation can natural increase be near zero but total growth be positive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Births and deaths are almost equal but in-migration is high

The correct answer is A. Natural increase is calculated as births minus deaths. If births and deaths are almost equal, natural increase is close to zero. Total population growth also includes migration: total growth is natural increase plus net migration, where net migration means in-migration minus out-migration. Thus, strong in-migration can make total growth positive even when births and deaths nearly balance. Option A states both conditions. Option B would usually reduce population because out-migration is high. Option C gives no positive migration and has high deaths. Option D describes negative net migration, which works against growth. Memory cue: natural change comes from births and deaths; total change also includes migration.
