Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Crude birth and death rates.
The natural growth rate of a population refers to the difference between the crude birth rate and the crude death rate in a particular region over a specific time period. It reflects the actual increase or decrease in population, excluding migration. Crude birth rate is the number of live births per 1,000 people per year, while crude death rate is the number of deaths per 1,000 people per year. This indicator is widely used by demographers and planners to study population trends and plan for resource allocation and public services.
