If births and deaths are equal, what will natural increase be?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Zero

The correct answer is option A: zero. Natural increase is calculated as births minus deaths. If a population has exactly the same number of births and deaths, the subtraction is balanced: for example, 600 births − 600 deaths = 0. This means births have replaced the people lost through deaths, so there is no net natural increase or natural decrease. A is correct because it gives the result of the formula. B is wrong because equal numbers cannot produce a very high positive result. C is wrong because the result is not negative when both numbers are equal; it would be negative only if deaths exceeded births. D is wrong because equality does not multiply the result. This calculation does not include migration, so people entering or leaving may still change the total population. Memory cue: equal in and out through births and deaths gives zero natural change.
