Answer: (D)

Phenotype

The phenotype is not the characteristic of the population. It is the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment

Total size is the number of individuals in a population.

Population density is defined as the number of individuals per unit area or per unit volume of the environment.

Death rate means mortality which means the rate of death of individuals in a population.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
