Match List - I with List - II.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II) (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I) (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II) (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I) |
(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II) |
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II) (A) 1901–1921 – (IV) Stagnant or stationary phase of growth. This period is known for high birth and death rates, resulting in very low or stagnant population growth. (B) 1921–1951 – (III) Period of steady population growth. After 1921 (the 'year of the great divide'), death rates began to decline, while birth rates remained high, resulting in steady population growth. (C) 1951–1981 – (I) Period of population explosion. In this period, death rates fell sharply, while birth rates remained high, causing a population explosion. (D) 1981 till present – (II) Gradually slowing down of growth rate. From 1981 onwards, birth rates started declining, leading to a gradual slowdown in population growth. |
