To determine population change, you need to consider the total number of births and immigrants (factors that increase the population) and subtract the total number of deaths and emigrants (factors that decrease the population).

The correct choice is:

**B. Determine the total number of deaths and emigrants in a population. Subtract this value from the total number of births and immigrants in the population.**

This can be formulated as:
