PLEASE HURRY IM TIMED

During the process of demographic transition, why does the total population continue to grow if the natural increase
rate is moderating?
O The crude birthrate stabilizes while the crude death rate declines.
O The crude birthrate remains higher than the crude death rate
O The crude birthrate declines faster than the crude death rate
O Economic changes stabilize the crude death rate.
O Economic changes stabilize the crude birthrate

Answer 1

The population continues to grow if the natural increase rate is moderating because the crude birthrate stabilizes while the crude death rate declines.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first option is correct because when the natural increase is moderating because the death rate is declining, with the infant mortality being minimized, and the life expectancy is increased, so the population is continuing to grow, though at a slower rate.

The second option is not correct because even though the birthrate is still higher than the death rate, it is not at the core of it, nor it explains why that is the case.

The third option is not correct because if that was the case then the population would have been declining.

The fourth option is not correct because the economic influence on the death rate doesn't ''paint the whole picture''.

The fifth option is not correct because even that is actually the case in general, it doesn't fully explain why the population is still growing.
