Answer: The correct answer is option (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

Birth rate in Hungary in 2014 = 12 (per 1000 people)

Death rate in Hungary in 2014= 8 (per 1000 people)

Growth rate = Birth rate - Death rate :

12(per 1000 people) - 4 (per 1000 people)= +4(per 1000 people)

Positive sign indicates that there will be a increase in growth rate by the magnitude of 4 per 1000 people in 2014.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
