B. 1.95%
Crude natural increase is the rate of population growth resulting from the difference between the number of births and deaths in a country. In this case, we can calculate the rate of crude natural increase by subtracting the rate of net migration (-0.05%) from the overall rate of population change (2%).
2% - (-0.05%) = 2% + 0.05% = 2.05%
Therefore, the rate of crude natural increase in country A in year 1999 was 2.05%.
