In which situation should a region's population growth data be read carefully?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When boundaries have changed or a new district has been formed

The correct answer is A. Population growth is often measured by comparing the population of the same area at different times. If district or regional boundaries change, the two figures may no longer refer to exactly the same territory. A new district may be created by separating villages or towns from an older district, so the apparent increase or decrease may partly reflect an administrative change rather than actual demographic growth. Researchers should therefore check whether the data have been adjusted to a common boundary before comparing them. Option A is correct because boundary changes affect the comparison base. B, C and D do not by themselves make population figures incomparable. Rainfall, language and the age of villages may be relevant to other studies, but they do not explain this specific statistical caution. Memory cue: before comparing growth, compare the boundaries.
