If the birth rate is low but many people are coming from outside to a city, why can its population increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Due to in-migration

Answer: C, because of in-migration. A city’s population depends not only on births and deaths but also on the movement of people. If many people enter a city, the added residents can be greater than the number lost through deaths or the small number added through births. Therefore, the city can grow even when its birth rate is low. Option A is incorrect because a rising death rate tends to reduce population, not increase it. Option B is incorrect because a change in area affects density or boundaries, not necessarily the number of residents. Option D is incorrect because a zero birth rate would not add people. The key distinction is that natural increase uses births and deaths, while total population change also includes migration.
