Question

Which one of the following supports declining phase of a population?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A Mortality > natality

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 mortality > natality, then the population would be in declining phase.

So, the correct answer is option A.
