Answer
A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
Explanation
Solution
A. Logistic growth - II. Limited resource availability condition
- Logistic growth occurs when a population's growth is limited by available resources. As resources become limited, the population growth rate slows down.
B. Exponential growth - I. Unlimited resource availability condition
- Exponential growth occurs when a population has access to abundant resources, leading to rapid and continuous growth without resource limitations.
C. Expanding age pyramid - III. The percent pyramid individuals of pre-reproductive age is largest followed by reproductive and post-reproductive age groups
- An expanding age pyramid has a broad base, indicating a large proportion of young individuals (pre-reproductive age) and a smaller proportion of older individuals (reproductive and post-reproductive age).
D. Stable age pyramid - IV. The percent individuals of pre-reproductives and reproductive age group are the same
- A stable age pyramid has roughly equal proportions of individuals in each age group, indicating a balanced population structure with relatively stable birth and death rates across age groups.
So, The correct option is (D): A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
