When a small annual rate is applied to a very large population, it will lead to which of the following ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answeris option 4: Large population change
When a small annual rate of increase (even if it's a small percentage) is applied to a very large population, the actual increase in the number of individuals can be quite substantial. For example, a growth rate of just 1% on a population of 1 billion people results in an increase of 10 million people. Therefore, even a small rate applied to a large population can lead to significant overall population growth.
