Correct answer: A

Demography is the study of population in all aspects. Fertility refers to the number of children per couple. Mortality rate is the average number of natural deaths per unit population per unit time. Age distribution refers to the proportionate occurrence of individuals of the three age groups. Developing countries usually have high rate of population growth, because of increasing fertility and declining mortality.
