In which situation can total population decline even when natural increase is positive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When out-migration is greater than natural increase

The direct answer is A. Natural increase equals births minus deaths. It is positive when births are greater than deaths. However, total population change also includes net migration. If more people leave than enter, net migration is negative. When that loss is larger than the positive natural increase, the total population declines. For example, a natural increase of 400 combined with net out-migration of 600 gives a total change of −200. Option B would produce an increase because births exceed deaths and there is no migration loss. Option C generally supports population growth because in-migration adds people; the statement does not describe the required decline. Option D gives zero natural increase, not a positive one. Memory cue: total change = natural increase + net migration.
