Solution

The correct option is C

Mortality and emigration


The decrease of population in a habitat depends on two factors - mortality rate and emigration.

Mortality rate or death rate is the average number of individuals which die per unit time.

Emigration is similar to mortality, but there is no death; it is the permanent departure of some persons from an existing population to another state or country.
