Explanation:

Current population trends in Russia are driven by persistently low birth rates combined with relatively high death rates (linked to factors like poor health outcomes, high alcohol consumption, and an aging population). Immigration does not offset this decline enough to make the population grow, birth rates are not high, and frequent wars/territorial losses are not the primary current driver of population change.

Answer:

C. The population is decreasing due to low birthrates and high death rates.
