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

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Births exceed deaths but emigration is very high

Answer: C. Natural increase is births minus deaths. It is positive when births exceed deaths. Total population growth also includes net migration: total growth = natural increase + in-migration − out-migration. Suppose births are higher than deaths, giving a positive natural increase, but many more people leave than enter. Net migration then becomes strongly negative and can be larger in magnitude than the natural increase. The final total is negative, so population falls. A gives negative natural increase because births are fewer than deaths, even though immigration might offset it. B gives zero natural increase and zero migration, so total change is zero. D produces positive natural increase and positive migration, not negative growth. Memory cue: positive births-minus-deaths can be outweighed by large net out-migration.
