If natural increase is negative but the total population is increasing, what is the most likely cause?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: High immigration

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Natural increase is calculated from births minus deaths. If deaths are greater than births, natural increase becomes negative. However, total population also changes because of migration. When more people enter the area than leave it, immigration can be large enough to compensate for the natural decrease. The total population can therefore rise even though births are fewer than deaths. Option A is correct because high immigration adds people to the area. Option B is wrong because emigration removes people and would usually make total population smaller, other things being equal. Option C would make natural decrease stronger, not cause total growth. Option D cannot explain an increase: zero births with deaths occurring would produce a natural decrease, unless migration more than compensated, and the option itself does not identify that cause. Memory cue: natural change = births minus deaths; total change also includes migration.
