Answer:

A) Stage 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Demographic transition has to do with the changing pattern of factors that impact population such as birth rates, death rates as the population moves from regime to regime. The transition is in four stages:

  • Stage 1: which is characterized by high high birth and death rates. also known as pre-transition stage.
  • Stage 2: Characterized by falling death rate but continued high death rate. Also known as early transition stage.
  • Stage 3: characterized by a decline in birth rate and deceleration of population growth. It is also known as late transition period.
  • Stage 4: Characterized by low birth and death rate. Negligible population growth. Also known as post-transitional period.
