If both deaths and out-migration are high in an area, what effect can occur on the total population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population may decrease

Direct answer: A. Deaths reduce the number of people living in an area, and out-migration removes residents who leave for another place. Since both are population-reducing processes, their combined effect can cause the total population to decrease, especially if births and in-migration do not compensate for the losses. The word “may” is accurate because population change is determined by all four components. Option B is wrong because two reducing processes cannot by themselves make the population double. Option C is wrong because people leaving does not automatically force other people to enter; in-migration is a separate process. Option D is not a meaningful geographical relationship: birth rate is a demographic measure, while area is a measure of space. The correct approach is to classify each process as an addition or subtraction. Memory cue: deaths and departures are losses.
