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

According to the Malthusian model of population growth:

(A) corresponds to Stage I where high birth and high death rates are found in less developed regions.

(B) corresponds to Stage II where death rates begin to fall, and birth rates remain high.

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

(D) is not part of this model because it implies a stable population with low birth and death rates.

Thus, the correct answer is (b).
