How can rural to urban migration affect population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: By increasing urban population and reducing rural population

Direct answer: A is correct. Rural-to-urban migration means that people change their place of residence from a village or rural area to a town or city. First, the migrants are counted in the urban population after they settle there, so the urban total rises. Second, the rural area loses those residents, so its population may fall or grow more slowly. This movement changes population distribution between places; it does not automatically create new people in the whole country. A is therefore the only option that describes both effects. B is wrong because migration may make some places more crowded and others less populated, not equal everywhere. C is wrong because natural increase depends on births and deaths, and migration does not stop either process. D is wrong because birth rate is a demographic measure showing births, while area measures land size. Memory cue: migration redistributes people; births and deaths change natural increase.
