The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1

  1. Natality refers to the number of newborns within a given population during a fixed period.
  2. Mortality refers to the number of deaths occurring within a given population over a fixed period.
  3. Immigration refers to the number of people moving into a specific habitat from another location over a fixed period.
  4. Emigration refers to several people leaving their habitat during a specific period.

So, the correct option is (A): (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

Approach Solution -2

(i) Natality refers to the number of births during a given period in the population that are added to the initial density.

(ii) Mortality is the number of deaths in the population during a given period.

(iii) Immigration is the number of individuals of the same species that have come into the habitat from elsewhere during the time period under consideration.

(iv) Emigration is the number of individuals of the population who left the habitat and gone elsewhere during the time period under consideration.

So, the correct option is (A): (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

Organisms and Populations

Organisms:

An attached living system that lives in an environment is commonly known as an organism. These organisms are able to retain certain behaviors and structures. Some examples of organisms are plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, and humans. A group of these organisms leads to the formation of a population. The collection of the population forms a community that assists in the operation of ecosystems. 

Each and every organism has the ability to adapt itself to various conditions of the environment. This capacity of organisms is due to their genetic variations. It is due to this only that their probability of survival get increases. For instance, camels adapt themselves to survive in desert areas and polar bears adapt to the extreme cold conditions or situations through their dense fur coat.

Populations:

A collection of organisms or individuals of a species that live, at a specific time, in a geographical area that is well-defined and capable of interbreeding is described as a population.
