The U.S. population is not expected to exceed 1.5 billion by the middle of the next century, making A incorrect. Immigration has historically had a significant impact on the U.S. population and is expected to continue doing so, making B incorrect. With aging populations and lower birth rates in many developed countries, including the U.S., it is plausible that the birth rate could be lower than the death rate by the middle of the next century, making C a reasonable expectation. Emigration from the U.S. is not typically cited as having a large effect on the overall population size, making D incorrect.
