If the birth rate is high but infant mortality is also high, what may happen to population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth may be less rapid than the high birth rate alone suggests

Correct answer: A, growth may be less rapid than the high birth rate alone suggests. A high birth rate adds many births to the population, but high infant mortality means that many infants do not survive. Population growth depends not only on the number of births but also on survival and deaths, along with migration. Therefore, the increase produced by births can be partly reduced by infant deaths. This does not mean that the population must become zero; B is an unjustified extreme statement. C is unrelated because infant mortality does not automatically stop migration. D is incorrect because deaths directly reduce the number of people who remain alive. The exact outcome would require numerical information about births, deaths and migration, so A is carefully worded with “may.” Memory cue: births add, deaths subtract, and survival determines how much growth remains.
