As a developing country reaches the status of industrialized, the birth rate usually stays the same. However death rates are usually lowered due to the increased medical knowledge.

The correct answer is "It decreases". Numerous studies report that birth rate are higher in developing countries in comparison to developed countries. Once a developing country reaches the status of industrialized it is very likely that the birth rate would decrease. Two factors that explain the high birth rates in developing countries are the lack of access to contraceptives and, generally lower levels of education respect to developed countries.
