Solution

The correct option is B

False


The difference between the birth rate and death rate is termed as the growth rate of the population. It can be negative when death rate exceeds birth rate. This does not usually happen but in rare cases, it does happen. Again, this means more deaths and emigration, or the leaving of a country, than births and immigration, or entering a country.
