Solution

The correct option is D result in decline in growth rate
Increase in infant mortality rate (IMR) and maternal mortality rate (MMR) will lead to decline in growth rate.

This is because infant mortality leads to low number of newborns and maternal deaths during pregnancy, childbirth or postpartum also leads to decline in population.

Increased IMR and MMR cannot cause rapid increase in growth rate.
