Solution

The correct option is C zero population growth
Population growth

Population growth refers to the increase in population per unit time. It depends on several factors such as natality (birth rate), mortality (death rate), migration and sex ratio.

Case-specific explanation

If both natality and mortality is balanced, there will be no net individuals added into the population. Hence, it will lead to zero population growth.
