Solution
The correct option is D Statement II is correct.
According to the theory of demographic transition, two stages have the lowest population growth but due to different reasons. The backward stage has higher birth and death rates and so, the population growth is low. The developed stage has low birth and death rates and so, the population growth is low. Special attention is given to education and adequate healthcare facilities. So, the explanation for Statement I can be high birth rate and high death rate.
