Answer 2

The correct answer is - Population growth is decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, the number of deers increases in the deer population is:

born: 6

Immigrated: 1

Total 7

7 deers are increased in the population this year. While the deers leave the population is:

Killed: 3

emigrated: 5

So the population growth is: increase - decrease in population

= 7-8

= - 1

The value is negative that suggests that there is a decrease in population growth of the deer in a given year.
