Answer: The correct answer is option (C).

Step-by-step explanation:

Birth rate in Hungary in 2011 = 9 (per 1000 people)

Death rate in Hungary in 2011 = 13 (per 1000 people)

Growth rate = Birth rate - Death rate :

9(per 1000 people) - 13 (per 1000 people)= -4(per 1000 people)

Negative sign indicates that there will be a decrease in growth rate by the magnitude of 4 per 1000 people.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
