If a city has low natural increase but many people are coming from outside, how can total population change?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The population can increase

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Natural increase is the change produced by births and deaths, while people coming from outside contribute positive net migration. A city may therefore have only a small gain from births over deaths but still experience a larger total gain because many newcomers are added. In simplified form, total population change is natural increase plus net migration. For example, if natural increase is +100 and net migration is +2,000, the total change is +2,100. Option B is wrong because low natural increase does not guarantee decline when migration is strongly positive. Option C is impossible as a general conclusion; the city already has residents and incoming people add to them. Option D confuses population with physical area. The exact size of the increase depends on births, deaths, arrivals and departures. Memory cue: a weak natural increase can be outweighed by strong in-migration.
