C Correct answer
Explanation

Net annual increase = birth rate - migration rate = 2.5% - 0.5% = 2% per year. Since population grows by 2% each year, we use compound growth formula. After 3 years: P(1.02)^3 = P × 1.061208. Total increase = 6.1208%. Simply adding 2% + 2% + 2% = 6% would be incorrect because population growth compounds on the increased base each year.
