If deaths become more than births, what can happen to population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population may decrease

Direct answer: A, the population may decrease when deaths are greater than births, if migration does not offset the difference. Natural growth depends on the balance between births and deaths. When deaths exceed births, natural increase becomes negative, which can reduce the number of people. Option A is correct because it describes this possible decline. The word may is important: migration into the area could still raise the total population, so births and deaths alone do not always determine the final population. Option B is wrong because a higher death count does not guarantee population growth. Option C is wrong because death numbers do not make the birth rate infinite; birth rate concerns births. Option D is wrong because population processes do not automatically enlarge the physical area. Memory cue: deaths greater than births create a negative natural balance; check migration separately when discussing total population.
