In which situation can natural increase remain low even when both births and deaths are high?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the difference between births and deaths is small

Direct answer: Option B. Natural increase is the difference between the number or rate of births and the number or rate of deaths. Therefore, high birth and death rates do not automatically mean high natural increase. Suppose there are 40 births and 38 deaths per thousand people. Both figures are high, but the difference is only 2 per thousand, so the natural increase is low. Option A is wrong because births much greater than deaths create a large natural increase. Option B is correct because a small gap leaves only a small addition after deaths are subtracted from births. Option C is wrong because in-migration affects total population, not natural increase, which uses only births and deaths. Option D is also wrong because zero out-migration does not determine the birth-death difference. Memory cue: high rates can still produce low growth when they are nearly equal.
