Solution

The correct option is B Immigration, natality, mortality

Population growth is defined as the increase in the number of individuals in a population. The rate of population growth is expressed by the number of individuals added per unit population in a specified time. Population growth rate actually measures how fast a population is changing. In general, there are some factors that contribute to the change in the size of a population, from a one-time step to the next. Some of these factors determine the increase in population size, which are births and immigration. Whereas, the other factors lead to a decrease in population size, which are deaths and emigration. If N0 is the initial size of a population and Nt is its size after a specified time interval, then the following general equation helps to predict the population size at a future time.

Nt = N0 + B + I - D − E

Here, within a specified time interval, B stands for natality rate, D is the mortality rate, I stands for immigration rate, and E equals the emigration rate.
