• A. Cause rapid increase in growth rate
• B. Result in decline in growth rate
• C. Not cause significant change in growth rate
• D. Result in an explosive population

Answer 1

The correct option is C Not cause significant change in growth rate

i) If IMR has been increased then it will result in a decline in growth rate.

ii) While decreased MMR will cause a rapid increase in growth rate.

iii) Therefore, in the above situation, if IMR has been increased and MMR has been decreased in a population, it will not cause any significant change in growth rate.

So the correct answer is option C. Not cause a significant change in growth rate.
