In which situation can a city's population rise even with negative natural increase?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When deaths exceed births but in-migration is very high

Direct answer: A is correct. Negative natural increase means that deaths exceed births, so the natural component reduces the population. However, a city can still grow if enough people move into it. Total population change equals natural increase plus net migration. For example, a natural decrease of 2,000 combined with net in-migration of 5,000 produces a total increase of 3,000. Option B would usually reduce the population further because more people leave. Option C gives zero natural change and no migration, so the total should remain unchanged. Option D incorrectly treats death rate and population density as the same concept: death rate measures deaths in relation to population over time, while density measures people per unit area. Memory cue: a large positive migration balance can overcome a negative natural balance.
