Answer:

C. Jobs

Step-by-step explanation:

Demography is usually defined as the science of vital and social statistics, as of births, deaths, diseases, marriages etc. of populations.

This means that a demographer study both birth and death rates as they focus on human characteristics.

In demography, fertility is the birthrate of a population. Or in other words, the ability to produce offspring in a population. Mortality is the opposite of fertility; the death rate of a population. Both of these things are something that a demographer would study as they relate to the continuation of human society. Migration though, is a demographic process in which people migrate between different locations or places, resulting in a contribution to a population. So to explain the demographic terms, international migration takes an impact on a population with its age and size structure resulting in an indirect influence on the rate of future births in a population. This means that a overall, fertility, mortality, and migration all are therefore things that a demographer would study. After using process of elimination between the options, there is one left over, which is:

Option C - Jobs
