Why can total population decline even after the death rate falls?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: If births are very low and out-migration is very high

The direct answer is option A. A falling death rate is only one part of population change; it does not guarantee that the total will rise. First consider natural change: if births are very low, births may be fewer than deaths even after deaths have declined, making natural increase negative. Next consider migration: very high out-migration removes people from the population, especially if it is greater than in-migration. When a negative natural change and negative net migration occur together, the total population can decline. Option B would usually increase population because both births and in-migration add people. Option C removes one source of loss but does not guarantee growth if births are very low. Option D means more people enter than leave, which supports increase rather than decline. Memory cue: never judge total growth from the death rate alone; check births and net migration too.
