If natural increase is low but the total population is growing rapidly, which component may be major?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In-migration

The direct answer is A: in-migration may be the major component. Natural increase is the difference between births and deaths. If this difference is small, it cannot by itself explain rapid growth. Population can nevertheless rise quickly when many people enter the area from other places. In-migration adds residents directly, and its effect may be larger than the small natural increase. Option A is correct because it is a demographic component that can raise the total population. Option B is wrong because deaths remove people from the population; they do not normally create growth. Option C is wrong because a larger or smaller area changes density calculations but does not itself add people. Option D is wrong because rainfall can influence agriculture and settlement, but it is not a direct component of population change. To make a complete calculation, we should also consider out-migration and the exact numbers of births and deaths. Memory cue: when natural increase is small but total population rises fast, look first for net in-migration.
