Answer:
The correct answer is B. Japan is experiencing zero population growth.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of Japan, currently 127,463,611 people, experienced a rapid growth rate during the 20th century, as a result of scientific, industrial, and social changes. Population growth has decreased recently due to a decrease in the birth rate.
The high degree of sanitation and health standards have made Japan have one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world, 81.25 years for 2006. But the population began to decrease in 2005, when the 1,067,000 births were exceeded by the amount of 1,077,000 deaths per year.
The population of Japan is expected to decrease to 100 million by the year 2050, and only 64 million by 2100. It is expected that one of the most significant problems that this reduction in population will bring will be a financial one due to the increase in the proportion of dependence due to the increase in the elderly population and the decrease in the number of young people trained to work and finance the country's social security.
