• B. 2-1-3-4
• C. 4-1-3-2
• D. 3-4-1-2

Answer 1

The correct option is C 4-1-3-2

Theory of demographic transition: It is a theory that throws light on changes in birth rate and death rate and consequently on the growth rate of population.
1. Pre-industrial phase - stagnant population or steady population with small growth
2. Early industrialization phase - It is called the stage of Population Explosion. In this stage, the death rate is decreasing while the birth rate remains constant at a high level.
3. Advanced industrial phase - population stabilizes
4. Declining Stage: It is called the stage of a stationary population.
