What is the correct difference between slow growth and negative growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In slow growth, the population increases, whereas in negative growth, it decreases.

Correct answer: A. Slow growth means that the population is still increasing, but at a low rate. Negative growth means that the total population is decreasing, so the growth rate is below zero. Negative growth can result when deaths and out-migration together exceed births and in-migration. Option A correctly states the difference. Option B is wrong because a constant population represents zero growth, not slow positive growth or negative growth. Option C is wrong because both kinds of change may be influenced by births, deaths and migration; neither is caused only by one factor. Option D is wrong because births greater than deaths generally create positive natural growth, not negative natural growth, unless a sufficiently large net out-migration offsets it. Memory cue: slow positive growth means “up slowly”; negative growth means “down.”
