The diagram that represents the relationship between natality and mortality is Natality < Mortality

Option B is correct

Natality is the upward curve indicates that the birth rate (natality) is initially high, leading to a rapid increase in the population size.

Mortality is the downward slope after the initial peak suggests that the death rate (mortality) eventually exceeds the birth rate, leading to a decline in the population size. This pattern is consistent with a situation where the initial rapid population growth outpaces the environment's carrying capacity, eventually leading to resource scarcity and higher mortality rates.
