Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I(Characteristics)		List-II(Stages)
A	High Birth Rate and High Death Rate	I	Stage I
B	Low Birth Rate and High Death Rate	II	Stage II
C	High Birth Rate and Low Death Rate	III	Stage III
D	Low Birth Rate and Low Death Rate	IV	Not a part of this model

Choose the correct answer from the options given below

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)

Hint:

Stage I of the Malthusian model shows a high population growth due to both high birth and death rates.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Malthusian model of population growth describes:

(A) represents Stage I, characterized by high birth and death rates in less developed regions.

(B) represents Stage II, where death rates decline while birth rates remain high.

(C) represents Stage III, where both birth and death rates begin to fall.

(D) is excluded from this model, as it implies a stable population with low birth and death rates.

Therefore, the correct answer is (b).
