Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect A stable population is the one with a zero growth rate. In a stable population, the fertility and mortality rates remain constant. Thus the population is neither shrinking nor growing. This is indicated in the bell-shaped age pyramid ratio.
So, the assertion is true. But the reason is false as individuals in reproductive age areas equal to the one in pre-reproductive age group in a stable population.
