What can generally happen to population when death rate falls?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The population may increase
When the death rate falls, more people survive. If the birth rate and other factors remain broadly unchanged, fewer deaths compared with births can increase the population. Option D is generally incorrect because a lower death rate usually promotes population growth rather than slowing it. Exam tip: Link a higher birth rate and a lower death rate with population increase.
