Question

increased birth rates contribute to population growth.

by eliminating all competitors from the environment.

only through migration of individuals into an area.

population will grow automatically over time.

Explanation:

Population growth can occur through increased birth rates. Eliminating all competitors is not a practical or common way for populations to grow as ecosystems have complex interactions. Population growth is not only through immigration as birth - death rates also play a role. And population does not grow automatically over time as it is influenced by factors like resources, birth and death rates etc.

Answer:

Increased birth rates contribute to population growth.
