Question

The state of population in which the numbers of births plus immigrants equals the number of deaths plus emigrants is known as

• A. Population growth rate
• B. Morbidity rate
• C. Total fertility rate
• D. Zero population growth

Hint:

Zero population growth means population size remains constant.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Population changes depend on births, deaths, immigration, and emigration.

Step 1:
When the number of people entering and being born equals the number of people dying and leaving, population size remains stable.

Step 2:
Zero population growth occurs when: \[ \text{Births + Immigrants = Deaths + Emigrants} \]

Step 3:

• Population growth rate measures increase or decrease in population.
• Morbidity rate refers to disease occurrence.
• Total fertility rate measures average births per woman.

Step 4:
Therefore, the correct answer is Zero population growth. \[ \boxed{\text{(4) Zero population growth}} \]
