In which situation can natural increase be negative but total change positive?

Answer and explanation

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

Direct answer: C. Natural increase is births minus deaths. It is negative when deaths exceed births, which is called natural decrease. Total population change also includes net migration. If very many people move into the area, the positive net migration can be larger than the natural decrease. In that case, the total population still rises even though natural increase is negative. A is wrong because high out-migration would add another negative component and is unlikely to produce positive total change. B is wrong because births exceed deaths, so natural increase is positive, not negative. D is wrong because equal births and deaths make natural increase zero, while out-migration makes the migration effect negative. C correctly shows one negative component being offset by a larger positive component. Memory cue: a large inflow can overcome natural decrease.
