Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

The natural growth rate of a population is measured by the difference between the birth rate and the death rate. This is because the birth rate indicates the number of births in a population, while the death rate indicates the number of deaths. The difference between these two rates gives the natural increase or decrease in the population, without considering migration.
