Both 1 and 2

Correct Answer:

Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4: Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

  1. This happens when the birth rate is more than the death rate between two points of time: This is true. Positive population growth occurs when the birth rate exceeds the death rate, leading to an increase in the overall population over a period of time.

  2. It happens when people from other countries migrate permanently to a region: This is also true. Immigration, particularly permanent migration, contributes to positive population growth by adding individuals to the population.
