Solution

The two factors that are most likely to cause a population to increase are B. Increased births and D. Increased immigration.

Here's why:

B. Increased Births: When the birth rate is higher than the death rate, the population will increase. This is because there are more individuals being added to the population than there are dying off.

D. Increased Immigration: Immigration refers to individuals moving into a population. When more individuals move into a population than move out (emigration), the population will increase.

On the other hand, increased emigration (A) and increased deaths (C) would lead to a decrease in population.
