When can total population increase despite zero net migration?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Births are more than deaths

Answer: A, when births are more than deaths. Population change has two main parts: natural change and net migration. Natural change is calculated as births minus deaths. Net migration is in-migration minus out-migration. If net migration is zero, the numbers entering and leaving through migration balance each other. However, the population can still rise if more people are born than die. For example, 1,000 births and 700 deaths produce a natural increase of 300; adding zero net migration still gives a total increase of 300. Option A is correct because births add people and deaths remove people, leaving a positive balance. Option B would produce a natural decrease. Option C would produce no natural change, so with zero net migration the total change would be zero. Option D is not a condition for increase and cannot describe a growing population. Memory cue: total change = (births − deaths) + (in-migration − out-migration).
