Population aging occurs due to increased longevity, meaning people are living longer and the number of elderly individuals in the population is increasing. This is typically due to advances in healthcare, technology, and access to resources. Decreased longevity (choice A) would result in a shorter lifespan and a younger population. Increased infant mortality (choice C) would result in a higher death rate among newborns, but would not necessarily impact the aging of the population. Decreased infant mortality (choice D) would result in fewer deaths among newborns, but would not necessarily impact the aging of the population either.
