If natural increase is negative but in-migration is very high, what effect can occur on total population?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The total population may increase

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Negative natural increase means deaths are greater than births, so the population would decrease through natural change. However, total population also depends on migration. If the number of people entering is sufficiently greater than the number leaving, high in-migration can offset the natural decrease. For example, a natural decrease of 500 combined with a net migration gain of 1,000 produces a total increase of 500. Option B is wrong because neither negative natural increase nor migration makes the population automatically zero. Option C is wrong because migration directly changes the number of residents. Option D is wrong because a negative natural increase does not mean that births stop; it only means births are fewer than deaths. Memory cue: natural change and migration are two separate balances; the larger positive balance can determine the total result.
