Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parameters that directly contribute to increases, decreases or stability in population size are birth, immigration, death, and emigration. Birth and immigration increase population size, death and emigration decrease population size, and when birth, immigration, death, and emigration are balanced, it leads to population stability. The other options (A, B, and C) include only a subset of these parameters and do not cover all the factors that contribute to population growth. Option E includes additional factors that influence survival and reproduction, but these are not the main parameters that determine population growth.
