Answer:

C. medical advances could lead to an increase in both birth and death rates

Explanation:

Since modern technology and medicine helps increase the health of those who are old and newborn, it would most likely increase both birth and death rates. For example, even just 100 years ago we didn't have the technology and medical practices we have now, so their birth/death rates were lower than what they are in today's world.
