Question

The stationary phase of a population occurs when

• A. Natality > Mortality
• B. Natality = Mortality
• C. Mortality > Natality
• D. Natality = 0

Answer 1

The correct option is B Natality = Mortality

Mortality is the relative frequency of deaths in a specific population.
Natality is the ratio of the number of births to the size of the population.

If a number of births and deaths in a population is equal, the population would be stationary. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
