Question

The second stage of the demographic transition is characterized by a population explosion due to higher birth rates and lower death rates.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

The answer is "True".

Stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model or as known DTM, is described by a quick diminishing in a nation's death rate while the birth rate stays high. In that capacity, the aggregate populace of a nation in Stage 2 will rise since births outnumber the death rate, not on the grounds that the birth rate is rising.
