C. Population density will increase III.  Produce a large number of small-sized offspring.
D. Population density will decrease IV.   (D + E)
Options:

A- III , B- II , C-IV, D-I.

A- II , B- III , C-I, D-IV.

A- III , B- IV, C-II, D-I.

A- IV , B- II , C-III, D-I.

Correct Answer:

A- II , B- III , C-I, D-IV.

Population density will increase if the number of births plus the number of immigrants (B + I) is more.

Population density will deccrease if  the number of deaths plus the number of emigrants (D + E) is more.

Some organisms breed only once in their lifetime (Pacific salmon fish, bamboo) while others breed many times during their lifetime (most birds and mammals).

Some produce a large number of small-sized offspring (Oysters, pelagic fishes) while others produce a small number of large-sized offspring (birds, mammals)
