Question

A population with natality equal to mortality is:

• A. Increasing
• B. Decreasing
• C. Stable
• D. Growing

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Stable

Natality is the birth rate and mortality is the death rate of a population. If the natality and mortality are equal, that means the number of births and number of deaths in a given time are equal and therefore the population is not growing, nor declining, it is stable or in the plateau phase.
