Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(1) A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I

(2) A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV

(3) A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

(4) A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

Show Answer

Answer: (2) A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV

Explaination-

  • Logistic growth (occurs when a population’s growth is limited by available resources. As resources become limited, the population growth rate slows down) -Limited resource availability condition

  • Exponential growth (occurs when a population has access to abundant resources, leading to rapid and continuous growth without resource limitations) -Unlimited resource availability condition

  • Expanding age pyramid (An expanding age pyramid has a broad base, indicating a large proportion of young individuals (pre-reproductive age) and a smaller proportion of older individuals,reproductive and post-reproductive age) - The percent pyramid individuals of pre-reproductive age is largest followed by reproductive and post-reproductive age groups

  • Stable age pyramid (A stable age pyramid has roughly equal proportions of individuals in each age group, indicating a balanced population structure with relatively stable birth and death rates across age groups) - The percent individuals of pre-reproductives and reproductive age group are the same
