If growth rate is declining but total population is increasing, which conclusion is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth rate may remain positive

Direct answer: C, the growth rate may still be positive. A declining growth rate means the speed of increase is becoming lower; it does not automatically mean that the population is falling. For example, a rate may fall from 3% to 2% and then to 1%. Each rate is still positive, so the population continues to rise, only more slowly. A would be correct only if the rate became negative or if actual losses exceeded additions. B is wrong because “declining” describes a change in the rate, not necessarily a negative rate. D is wrong because population growth can be measured using population totals and rates. Carefully distinguish declining growth from population decline. Memory cue: slower increase is still increase; zero means no change, and negative means decrease.
