In which situation can total population increase despite zero net migration?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Births are greater than deaths

Direct answer: Option A—if births exceed deaths, population increases naturally even when net migration is zero. Net migration is zero when in-migration equals out-migration, so movement has no net effect on the population size. Natural increase is calculated separately as births minus deaths. For example, with 1,200 births and 900 deaths, natural increase is +300. If the same number of people enter and leave, net migration is 0, so total change remains +300. Option A is correct. Option B gives a natural decrease. Option C gives zero natural increase, so with zero net migration there is no change. Option D is not a condition explaining population growth and cannot provide a positive increase. Common confusion: zero net migration means balanced movement, not zero births or deaths.
