Which statement is most correct when comparing absolute increase and growth rate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Absolute increase is the actual number, and growth rate is a percentage comparison

The direct answer is A. Absolute increase tells us the actual number added or lost between two population counts. It is found by subtracting the earlier population from the later population. Growth rate expresses the change relative to the starting population, usually as a percentage, so it makes comparisons between places or periods easier. For example, an increase of 1,000 people may be large for a small town but small for a huge city; the percentage gives useful context. Option B is wrong because births are only one component of population change. Option C confuses growth measures with area and density. Option D is wrong because both measures require a comparison over time. Memory cue: absolute increase answers “how many?”, while growth rate answers “what percentage of the starting population?”
