The answer is A

Subtract the mortality rate from the birth rate:

Birth rate - Mortality rate = Population growth rate

So:

10.22 per 1000 - 7.8 per 1000 = 2.42 per 1000

Therefore, Canada’s population growth rate, or natural increase rate, is 2.42 per 1000 people.

This means for every 1000 people in Canada, the population increases by 2.42 individuals due to births minus deaths.
