Which option gives a wrong interpretation of population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is only the name of increase in land area

Correct answer: C. Population growth means a change in the number of people over a period of time. Births add people, deaths remove people, and migration can either add people through in-migration or remove them through out-migration. Growth can be described as an absolute increase, such as 15 lakh people, or as a rate, such as 20 percent. A is correct because it includes time and change in population. B is correct because these are major processes affecting population change. C is wrong because land area is the physical size of a place; it is not the number of people living there. D is correct because both absolute and percentage measures are used. Common confusion: population growth and growth of land area are entirely different ideas.
