If death rate falls but birth rate remains high, what will be the effect on natural change?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Natural increase may become rapid

The correct answer is A: natural increase may become rapid. Natural increase means the number of births minus the number of deaths during a period; it does not include migration. First, a high birth rate continues to add many people. Next, when the death rate falls, fewer people are removed from the population. Therefore, the gap between births and deaths becomes wider and the natural increase can become faster. For example, if the birth rate is 30 per 1,000 people and the death rate falls from 15 to 8, natural increase changes from 15 to 22 per 1,000. Option A is correct because it describes this possible widening of the gap. Option B is wrong because the difference is not automatically zero; it is positive when births exceed deaths. Option C is wrong because high births and fewer deaths generally push population upward, although migration could affect total population separately. Option D is wrong because birth and death rates do not stop migration. Memory cue: natural increase = births − deaths; total population change also considers in-migration and out-migration.
