Question

Match List I with List II. 

	List I		List II
A	Logistic growth	I	Unlimited resource availability condition
B	Exponential growth	II	Limited resource availability condition
C	Expanding age pyramid	III	The percent individuals of pre-reproductive age is largest followed by reproductive and post reproductive age groups
D	Stable age pyramid	IV	The percent individuals of pre-reproductives and reproductive age group are same

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
• B. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
• C. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-
• D. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A. Logistic growth - II. Limited resource availability condition

• Logistic growth occurs when a population's growth is limited by available resources. As resources become limited, the population growth rate slows down.

B. Exponential growth - I. Unlimited resource availability condition

• Exponential growth occurs when a population has access to abundant resources, leading to rapid and continuous growth without resource limitations.

C. Expanding age pyramid - III. The percent pyramid individuals of pre-reproductive age is largest followed by reproductive and post-reproductive age groups

• An expanding age pyramid has a broad base, indicating a large proportion of young individuals (pre-reproductive age) and a smaller proportion of older individuals (reproductive and post-reproductive age).

D. Stable age pyramid - IV. The percent individuals of pre-reproductives and reproductive age group are the same

• A stable age pyramid has roughly equal proportions of individuals in each age group, indicating a balanced population structure with relatively stable birth and death rates across age groups.

So, The correct option is (D): A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
