Option C, An increase in average lifespan

Explanation:

The decrease in the population of humans is attributed to events like long-term population trends such as reproduction under replacement, urban decay, crime, disease or other disasters in a population of humans.

A decrease is caused by migration in human populations.

The average lifespan in the USA has dropped for the second time in 3 years, as shown by three recent CDC studies. drug overdose deaths and self killing caused much of the downturn, with even more than 70,000 reported deaths in 2017.
