(A) Population growth is slow due to high birth and high death rate.
(B) Fertility remains high, but mortality declines at a faster pace.
(C) Fertility declines at a faster pace, but mortality declines gradually.
(D) Population growth is slow due to low birth and low death rate.
(A), (B), (C), (D)
(A), (C), (B), (D)
(D), (B), (C), (A)
(D), (C), (B), (A)
(A), (B), (C), (D)
